β¦ Synopsis
Capobianco and Frank [1] have defined a simple graph process recursively as follows:
Let G, be the graph at stage n, n = 1, 2, .... G: consists of a single point. If G, (n = 1, 2,...) is complete, G,Γ·I is formed by adding a point with probability one. Otherwise G,+I is formed from G, either by adding a point with probability p or by inserting a line (i.e., edge) with probability 1-p = q.
Let N, and R, be the number of points and the number of lines respectively of graph G,. Clearly N, + R, = n and R~ = (r~.) if G, is complete. We are interested in deriving the distribution of N,. Denote by ak(n) the probability that Nn = k. It is shown by Capobianco and Frank that for k t> 1 and n ~> 1, a~(k) satisfies the following recurrence relations: ak-l(n-1)+ qak(n-1)

The set of different cycle lengths of a graph G is denoted by C(G). We study how the distribution of C(G) depends on the minimum degree of G. We prove two results indicating that C(G) is dense in some sense. These results lead to the solution of a conjecture of Erdos and Hajnal stating that for suit
Poisson processes fXΓ°tΓ; t ! 0g are suitable models for a broad variety of counting processes in Ecology. For example, when analyzing data that apparently came from Poisson population, over-dispersion Β½i.e. VΓ°XΓ°tΓΓ > EΓ°XΓ°tΓΓ or under-dispersion Β½i.e. VΓ°XΓ°tΓΓ < EΓ°XΓ°tΓΓ is encountered. This led Consul
The hamiltonian path graph H(F) of a graph F is that graph having the same vertex set as F and in which two vertices u and u are adjacent if and only if F contains a hamiltonian u -u path. First, in response to a conjecture of Chartrand, Kapoor and Nordhaus, a characterization of nonhamiltonian grap
