Abstract:
Given a sequence of non-negative real numbers 0; 1; : : : which sum to 1, we consider a random graph having approximately i n vertices of degree i. In [12] the authors essentially show that if P i(i \Gamma 2) i? 0 then the graph a.s. has a giant component, while if P i(i \Gamma 2) i! 0 then a.s. all components in the graph are small. In this paper we analyze the size of the giant component in the former case, and the structure of the graph formed by deleting that component. We determine ffl; 0
