Abstract
We consider the preferential attachment model introduced by Deijfen and Lindholm (2009) in which, at every discrete time step: (i) either we add a vertex and connect it to an older vertex; or (ii) we add an edge between two random vertices; or (iii) we delete one edge. We show that, when the deletion probability equals 1/3, the expected degree of any given vertex grows logarithmically, thus correcting a statement made in Lindholm and Vallier (2011). Moreover we show that, when the deletion probability is strictly less than 1/3, then the function which scales the expected degree of a given vertex, identified in Lindholm and Vallier (2011), also guarantees almost sure convergence for the degree process of a given vertex.
