Abstract

Consider a preferential attachment model for network evolution that allows both node and edge arrival events: at time t, with probability pt a new node arrives and a new edge is added between the new node and an existing node, and with probability 1 - p_t a new edge is added between two existing nodes. In both cases existing nodes are chosen at random according to preferential attachment, i.e., with probability proportional to their degree. For δ ∈ (0, 1), the δ-founders of the network at time t is the minimal set of the first nodes to enter the network (i.e., founders) guaranteeing that the sum of degrees of nodes in the set is at least a δ fraction of the number of edges in the graph at time t. We show that for the common model where p_t is constant, i.e., when p_t = p for every t and the network is sparse with linear number of edges, the size of the δ-founders set is concentrated around δ²/^pn_t, and thus is linear in n_t, the number of nodes at time t.
