The diameter of KPKVB random graphs

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider a model for complex networks that was recently proposed as a model for complex networks by Krioukov et al. In this model, nodes are chosen randomly inside a disk in the hyperbolic plane and two nodes are connected if they are at most a certain hyperbolic distance from each other. It has been previously shown that this model has various properties associated with complex networks, including a power-law degree distribution and a strictly positive clustering coefficient. The model is specified using three parameters : the number of nodes N, which we think of as going to infinity, and alpha,u>0 which we think of as constant. Roughly speaking alpha controls the power law exponent of the degree sequence and u the average degree. Earlier work of Kiwi and Mitsche has shown that when alpha<1 (which corresponds to the exponent of the power law degree sequence being <3) then the diameter of the largest component is a.a.s.~polylogarithmic in N. Friedrich and Krohmer have shown it is a.a.s.~Omega(logN) and they improved the exponent of the polynomial in logN in the upper bound. Here we show the maximum diameter over all components is a.a.s.~O(logN) thus giving a bound that is tight up to a multiplicative constant.
