We alsoshow that the LDP for the empirical degree measure of the classical Erd˝os-R´enyi graph is a special case of (Doku-Amponsah and Moerters, 2010, Theorem 2.5). From the LDP for the empirical degree measure, we derive an LDP for the the proportion of isolated vertices in the classical Erd˝os-R´enyi graph.concentration inequalitiescouplingempirical occupancy measureempirical degree measuresparse random graphsbins and ballsExponential approximation,method of types for empirical neighbourhood distributions for random graphs by random allocationArticle
