Book ChapterDOI
A geometric preferential attachment model of networks II
TL;DR: A random graph Gn is studied that combines certain aspects of geometric random graphs and preferential attachment graphs and yields a graph with power-law degree distribution where the expansion property depends on a tunable parameter of the model.
Book ChapterDOI
High Degree Vertices and Eigenvalues in the Preferential Attachment Graph
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the largest k eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of the preferential attachment graph have λ k = (1± o(1))Δ k 1/2 whp.
