Abstract

Random graphs, introduced by P. Erdős and A. Rényi in 1959, still attract a huge amount of research in the communities of Theoretical Computer Science, Algorithms, Graph Theory, Discrete Mathematics and Statistical Physics. This continuing interest is due to the fact that, besides their mathematical beauty, such graphs are very important, since they can model interactions and faults in networks and also serve as typical inputs for an average case analysis of algorithms. The modeling effort concerning random graphs has to show a plethora of random graph models; some of them have quite elaborate definitions and are quite general, in the sense that they can simulate many other known distributions on graphs by carefully tuning their parameters.
