Extensive condensation in a model of preferential attachment with fitness

From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:782812)




Abstract: We introduce a new model of preferential attachment with fitness, and establish a time reversed duality between the model and a system of branching-coalescing particles. Using this duality, we give a clear and concise explanation for the condensation phenomenon, in which unusually fit vertices may obtain abnormally high degree: it arises from a growth-extinction dichotomy within the branching part of the dual. We show further that the condensation is extensive. As the graph grows, unusually fit vertices become, each only for a limited time, neighbouring to a non-vanishing proportion of the current graph.
