Abstract
Many real-world networks exhibit the phenomenon of edge clustering,which is typically measured by the average clustering coefficient. Recently,an alternative measure, the average closure coefficient, is proposed to quantify local clustering. It is shown that the average closure coefficient possesses a number of useful properties and can capture complementary information missed by the classical average clustering coefficient. In this paper, we study the asymptotic distribution of the average closure coefficient of a heterogeneous Erdős–Rényi random graph. We prove that the standardized average closure coefficient converges in distribution to the standard normal distribution. In the Erdős–Rényi random graph,the variance of the average closure coefficient exhibits the same phase transition phenomenon as the average clustering coefficient.

Acta Mathematica Hungarica is devoted to publishing research articles of top quality in all areas of pure and applied mathematics as well as in theoretical computer science. The journal is published yearly in three volumes (two issues per volume, in total 6 issues) in both print and electronic formats. Acta Mathematica Hungarica (formerly Acta Mathematica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae) was founded in 1950 by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
