Random graphs are generated using a probabilistic model, and are often used in the study of social networks and the internet.

"Random graphs may be described simply by a probability distribution, or by a random process which generates them."
"The theory of random graphs lies at the intersection between graph theory and probability theory."
"Random graphs are used to answer questions about the properties of typical graphs."
"Its practical applications are found in all areas in which complex networks need to be modeled."
"Many random graph models are thus known, mirroring the diverse types of complex networks encountered in different areas."
"In a mathematical context, random graph refers almost exclusively to the Erdős–Rényi random graph model."
"In other contexts, any graph model may be referred to as a random graph."
"In mathematics, random graph is the general term to refer to probability distributions over graphs."
