Random threshold graphs
Constructs a random threshold graph. A threshold graph is a graph where the neighborhood inclusion preorder is complete.
threshold_graph(n, p, bseq)
n |
The number of vertices in the graph. |
p |
The probability of inserting dominating vertices. Equates approximately to the density of the graph. See Details. |
bseq |
(0,1)-vector a binary sequence that produces a threshold grah. See details |
Either n
and p
must be specified or bseq
.
Threshold graphs can be constructed with a binary sequence. For each 0, an isolated
vertex is inserted and for each 1, a vertex is inserted that connects to all previously inserted
vertices. The probability of inserting a dominating vertices is controlled with parameter p
.
If bseq
is gicen instead, a threshold graph is constructed from that sequence.
An important property of threshold graphs is, that all centrality indices induce the same ranking.
