Abstract

We consider a random graph process in which, at each time step, a new vertex is added with m out-neighbours, chosen with probabilities proportional to their degree plus a strictly positive constant. We show that the expectation of the clustering coefficient of the graph process is asymptotically proportional to lognn. Bollobas and Riordan have previously shown that when the constant is zero, the same expectation is asymptotically proportional to (logn)^2n.
