dc.descriptionThe on-line nearest-neighbour graph on a sequence of $n$ uniform random points in $(0,1)^d$ ($d \in \N$) joins each point after the first to its nearest neighbour amongst its predecessors. For the total power-weighted edge-length of this graph, with weight exponent $α\in (0,d/2]$, we prove $O(\max \{n^{1-(2α/d)}, \log n \})$ upper bounds on the variance. On the other hand, we give an $n \to \infty$ large-sample convergence result for the total power-weighted edge-length when $α> d/2$. We prove corresponding results when the underlying point set is a Poisson process of intensity $n$.
