Scaling of the Clustering Function in Spatial Inhomogeneous Random Graphs

We consider an infinite spatial inhomogeneous random graph model with an integrable connection kernel that interpolates nicely between existing spatial random graph models. Key examples are versions of the weight-dependent random connection model, the infinite geometric inhomogeneous random graph, and the age-based random connection model. These infinite models arise as the local limit of the corresponding finite models. For these models we identify the asymptotics of the local clustering as a function of the degree of the root in different regimes in a unified way. We show that the scaling exhibits phase transitions as the interpolation parameter moves across different regimes. This allows us to draw conclusions on the geometry of a typical triangle contributing to the clustering in the different regimes.
