This talk is about rigorous mathematical methods to study the empirical degree distribution of random graphs with preferential attachment. These models were introduced by Barabási and Albert in 1999 as an explanation of why the degree distribution of several examples of networks in our daily life (such as the scientific collaboration network in which scientists are linked if they have a common...
