<p class="man-name">
  <code>ba</code> - <span class="man-whatis">Grow a Barabasi-Albert scale-free random graph</span>
</p>

<h2 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h2>

<p><code>ba</code> <var>N</var> <var>m</var> <var>n0</var></p>

<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2>

<p><code>ba</code> grows an undirected random scale-free graph with <var>N</var> nodes using
the linear preferential attachment model proposed by Barabasi and
Albert. The initial network is a ring of <var>n0</var> nodes, and each new node
creates <var>m</var> new edges. The resulting graph will have a scale-free
degree distribution, whose exponent converges to <code>gamma=3.0</code> for large
<var>N</var>.</p>

<h2 id="PARAMETERS">PARAMETERS</h2>

<dl>
<dt class="flush"><var>N</var></dt><dd><p>  Number of nodes of the final graph.</p></dd>
<dt class="flush"><var>m</var></dt><dd><p>  Number of edges created by each new node.</p></dd>
<dt class="flush"><var>n0</var></dt><dd><p>  Number of nodes in the initial (seed) graph.</p></dd>
</dl>


<h2 id="OUTPUT">OUTPUT</h2>

<p><code>ba</code> prints on STDOUT the edge list of the final graph.</p>

<h2 id="EXAMPLES">EXAMPLES</h2>

<p>The following command:</p>

<pre><code>    $ ba 10000 3 5 &gt; ba_10000_3_5.txt
</code></pre>

<p>creates a Barabasi-Albert scale-free graph with <var>N=10000</var> nodes, where
each new node creates <var>m=3</var> new edges and the initial seed network is
a ring of <var>n0=5</var> nodes. The edge list of the graph is saved in the
file <code>ba_10000_3_5.txt</code> (thanks to the redirection operator <code>&gt;</code>).</p>
