| Jun 20, 2012 at 10:20 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | A related MO question, with references: "The diameter of the Erdös component of the collaboration graph" mathoverflow.net/questions/45586 | |
| Jun 20, 2012 at 10:07 | comment | added | Alexander Chervov | We can ask the same about "mathoverflow number" (and the answer can be much more easy to check in practice). I mean let say two users of MO are "coauthors" in they contribute to the same question. Let us select one user (some one like Erdos e.g. some one who have many coauthors) and form the "mathoverflow number" as distance to this user. Then we can ask the same question and actually more - does the evolution depends on the initial user ? Does the distribution depends on the initial user ? How much statistics we need to get stable results ? | |

| Jun 20, 2012 at 9:13 | comment | added | Alexander Chervov | I would reformulate the question like this: how to build the model such that it will fit real data ? (It is difficult but theoretically possible to get actual value of E(n,t) from real world. It would be nice then to compare it with theory). | |
