摘要
Consider a randomly oriented graph G = (V, E) and let a, s and b be three distinct vertices in V. We study the correlation between the events {a -> s} and {s -> b}. We show that, counter-intuitively, when G is the complete graph K(n), n >= 5, then the correlation is positive. (It is negative for n = 3 and zero for n = 4.) We briefly discuss and pose problems for the same question on other graphs.
