Abstract

We consider the random vector T = (T(0), ···, T(n)) with independent identically distributed coordinates such that Pr{T(i) = j} = Pj, j = 0, 1, ···, n, Σ . A realization of T can be viewed as a random graph GT with vertices {0, ···, n} and arcs {(0, T(0)), ···, (n, T(n))}. For each T we partition the vertex-set of GT into three disjoint groups and study the joint probability distribution of their cardinalities. Assuming that we observe the asymptotics of this distribution, as n → ∞, for all possible values of P0. It turns out that in some cases these cardinalities are asymptotically independent and identically distributed.
