Show affiliationsThe distribution of unicyclic components in a random graph is obtained analytically. The number of unicyclic components of a given size approaches a self-similar form in the vicinity of the gelation transition. At the gelation point, this distribution decays algebraically, Uk
(4k)−1 for k
1. As a result, the total number of unicyclic components grows logarithmically with the system size.
