Abstract: In this talk we introduce a dynamic Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph model, in which, independently for each vertex pair, edges appear and disappear according to a Markov on-off process.
In studying the dynamic graph we present two results. The first being on how long it takes for the graph to reach stationarity. We give an explicit expression for this time, as well as proving that this is the fastest time to reach stationarity among all strong stationary times.
The main result concerns the time it takes for the dynamic graph to reach a certain number of edges. We give an explicit expression for the expected value of such a time, as well as study its asymptotic behavior. This time is related to the first time the dynamic Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph contains a cluster exceeding a certain size.
