NAME

conf_model_deg_nocheck - Sample a multigraph from the configuration model

SYNOPSIS

conf_model_deg_nocheck degs

DESCRIPTION

conf_model_deg_nocheck samples an undirected multigraph (i.e., a graph that might contain self-loops multiple edges) from the configuration model associated to the degree sequence provided in the input file degs.

PARAMETERS

degs
The name of the file containing the degree sequence. If degs is equal to '-' (dash) the degree sequence is read from STDIN (standard input).

OUTPUT

conf_model_deg_nocheck prints on output the edge list of the sampled graph.

EXAMPLES

Let us assume that the file AS-20010316.net_degs contains the degree sequence of the data set AS-20010316.net (the graph of the Internet at AS level in March 2001). In this case, the degree sequence is too constrained, since the maximum degree (2277) is much larger than the structural cut-off (see REFERENCES below). However, since conf_model_deg_nocheck allows for self-loops and multiple edges, it always finds a multigraph:

    $ conf_model_deg_nocheck AS-20010316.net_degs > AS_20010316_rand.net
    $
