Popis: In this work we prove general bounds for the diameter of random graphs generated by a preferential attachment model whose parameter is a function $f:\mathbb{N}\to[0,1]$ that drives the asymptotic proportion between the numbers of vertices and edges. These results are sharp when $f$ is a \textit{regularly varying function at infinity} with strictly negative index of regular variation~$-\gamma$. For this particular class, we prove a characterization for the diameter that depends only on~$-\gamma$. More specifically, we prove that the diameter of such graphs is of order $1/\gamma$ with high probability, although its vertex set order goes to infinity polynomially. Sharp results for the diameter for a wide class of \textit{slowly varying functions} are also obtained.
Comment: After referee recommendation, all results not concerning the diameter have been removed to obtain a more streamlined paper. The paper has been published at Random Structures and Algorithms under the new title
