Abstract

For a random graph on n vertices where the edges appear with individual rates, we give exact formulas for the expected time at which the number of components has gone down to k and the expected length of the corresponding minimal spanning forest.

For a random bipartite graph we give a formula for the expected time at which a k-assignment appears. This result has a bearing on the random assignment problem.
