  It is a well-known fact that the degree distribution (DD) of the nodes in a
partition of a bipartite network influences the DD of its one-mode projection
on that partition. However, there are no studies exploring the effect of the DD
of the other partition on the one-mode projection. In this article, we show
that the DD of the other partition, in fact, has a very strong influence on the
DD of the one-mode projection. We establish this fact by deriving the exact or
approximate closed-forms of the DD of the one-mode projection through the
application of generating function formalism followed by the method of
iterative convolution. The results are cross-validated through appropriate
simulations.
