.SH "NAME"
\fBer_A\fR \- Sample a random graph from the Erdos\-Renyi model A
.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fBer_A\fR \fIN\fR \fIK\fR [\fIfileout\fR]
.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBer_A\fR samples a random graph with \fIN\fR nodes and \fIK\fR edges from the Erdos\-Renyi model A, i\.e\. the ensemble of random graphs where K links are placed uniformly at random among N nodes\. The program dumps the edge list of the resulting graph on output\. If the optional \fIfileout\fR is provided, the output is written on a file with that name\.
.
.SH "PARAMETERS"
.
.TP
\fIN\fR
Number of nodes in the final graph\.
.
.TP
\fIK\fR
Number of edges in the final graph\.
.
.TP
\fIfileout\fR
The (optional) name of the filename where the edge list of the graph will be saved\.
.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
The following command:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
$ er_A 1000 3000
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
samples an undirected random network with \fIN=1000\fR nodes and \fIK=3000\fR edges using the Erdos\-Renyi model A\. The output of the command \fBer_A\fR 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:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
$ er_A 1000 3000 > er_A_1000_3000\.net
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
will save the resulting graph in the file er_A_1000_3000\.net\. Notice the usage of the symbol ">" to redirect the output of the program to a file\.
