Can you feel the double jump? (English) Zbl 0789.03015

Summary: When \(p=c/n\) and \(c\) goes from less than one to greater than one, the random graph \(G(n,p)\) experiences the double jump. The first order language is too weak to recognize this change while there are properties expressible in the second order monadic language for which the change is clear.
