Abstract
A stochastic description of network formation in a three-stage process has recently been derived with the theory of branching processes with cascade substitution [1,2]. The distributions of units in the different reaction states are calculated with differential equations, so that substitution effects may be incorporated. Some preliminary results based on this theory are presented in this contribution.
