Abstract

A general model of a random digraph D(n,P) is considered. Based on a precise estimate of the asymptotic behaviour of the distribution function of the binomial law, a problem of the distribution of extreme in-degrees of D(n,P) is discussed.

Keywords and phrases: degree sequence, general model of a random digraph.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C80, 05C07.
