Suppose that a graph process begins with n isolated vertices, to which edges are added randomly one by one so that the maximum degree of the induced graph is always at most d. In a previous article, the authors showed that as n → ∞, with probability tending to 1, the result of this process is a d-regular graph. This graph is shown to be connected with probability asymptotic to 1.
