Striking Fact Concerning Random Graph

A random walk on Internet today.

Went to the website of Prof. Joel Spencer, a professor from Dept. of Computer Science and Dept. of Mathematics in New York University.

Went to his page storing his talk slides. A quote from the slide for his talk in Tianjin in 2007:



is a graph with n vertices and random N(n) edges.

The largest component of is of order for , of order for and of order n for .
