Abstract:
For the directed edge preferential attachment network growth model studied by Bollobas et al. (2003) and Krapivsky and Redner (2001), we prove that the joint distribution of in-degree and out-degree is jointly regularly varying. Typically the marginal tails of the in-degree distribution and the out-degree distribution have different regular variation indices and so the joint regular variation is non-standard. We discuss direct analysis of the measures, analysis by Tauberian theory and analysis using the probability mass function.
