Abstract: In this paper, we prove the first-order convergence law for the uniform attachment random graph with almost all vertices having the same degree. In the considered model, vertices and edges are introduced recursively: at time $m+1$ we start with a complete graph on $m+1$ vertices. At step $n+1$ the vertex $n+1$ is introduced together with $m$ edges joining the new vertex with $m$ vertices chosen uniformly from those vertices of $1,ldots,n$, whom degree is less then $d=2m$. To prove the law, we describe the dynamics of the logical equivalence class of the random graph using Markov chains. The convergence law follows from the existence of a limit distribution of the considered Markov chain.
