These types of graphs are not of the variety with an x and yaxis, but rather are made up of vertices, usually represented as points, and edges, usually thought of as lines in between two vertices. For all our graph processes, gt will denote the evolving graph or hypergraph at time t. One appearance particularly related to the present topic occurs in the study by pittel 43 of the limiting distribution of the number yi of tree components of size iin the random graph g n.
