Random subgraphs of the $$n$$-cycle and the $$n$$-wheel. (English) Zbl 0764.05085
Summary: The paper deals with some special types of random graphs, where the initial graphs are paths, cycles, wheels and similar objects. The aim of this paper is to give some characteristics of graphs of that type, such as probability of connectedness, the distribtion of number and size of components, the size of the greatest components and the distribution of degrees of vertices. The case of a finite number of vertices and asymptotic behaviors is considered.
