Re: [igraph] Scale-free random networks with different exponents and same average degree

[Eusebio Vargas]

Hi Gabor,

Thanks for your reply.

I was trying to find some information that might help me with igraph
(because I don't know R language and I haven't used igraph before),
and in http://igraph.sourceforge.net/igraphbook/igraphbook-random.html#id2533766
I found the following:

The original Barabási-Albert model uses linear preferential
attachment, ie. the connection probability is proportional to the
degree of the vertices. Nonlinear variations can also be studied with
igraph by supplying the power parameter:

> g1 <- barabasi.game(10000, power=0.5)
> g2 <- barabasi.game(10000, power=1)
> g3 <- barabasi.game(10000, poert=1.5)
> plot(degree.distribution(g3), xlab="degree",
          ylab="frequency", log="xy", pch=3, col=3, type="b")
> points(degree.distribution(g2), pch=2, col=2, type="b")
> points(degree.distribution(g1), pch=1, col=1, type="b")
> legend(max(degree(g3)), 1, xjust=1, yjust=1,
          c(0.5,1,1.5), pch=1:3, col=1:3, lty=1)


So I wonder if this might help me to generate the kind of random
graphs I'm trying to construct.

Best,
Eusebio
