NAME

er_B - Sample a random graph from the Erdos-Renyi model B

SYNOPSIS

er_B N p [fileout]

DESCRIPTION

er_B samples a random graph from the Erdos-Renyi model B, i.e. a graph with N nodes where each of the <N(N-1)/2> edges is created independently with probability p. The program dumps the edge list of the resulting graph on output. If the optional fileout is provided, the output is written on a file with that name.

PARAMETERS

N

Number of nodes in the final graph.

p

Edge probability.

fileout

The (optional) name of the filename where the edge list of the graph will be saved.

EXAMPLES

The following command:

      $ er_B 1000 0.006

samples an undirected random network with N=1000 nodes where each possible edge is created with probability p=0.006. The output of the command er_B will be the edge-list of the resulting graph, where each (undirected) edge is reported only once. In order to be useful, such edge-list should be saved into a file. The following command:

      $ er_B 1000 0.006 > er_B_1000_0.006.net

will save the resulting graph in the file er_B_1000_0.006.net. Notice the usage of the symbol ">" to redirect the output of the program to a file.
