Abstract: We study the evolution of the graph distance and weighted distance between two fixed vertices in dynamically growing random graph models. More precisely, we consider preferential attachment models with power-law exponent auin(2,3), sample two vertices ut,vt uniformly at random when the graph has t vertices, and study the evolution of the graph distance between these two fixed vertices as the surrounding graph grows. This yields a discrete-time stochastic process in tgeqt, called the distance evolution. We show that there is a tight strip around the function 4fracloglog(t)log(log(t/t)vee1)|log(au2)|vee2 that the distance evolution never leaves with high probability as t tends to infinity. We extend our results to weighted distances, where every edge is equipped with an i.i.d. copy of a non-negative random variable L.
