erdrey

An adjacency matrix of an Erdős–Rényi random graph: an undirected graph is chosen uniformly at random from the set of all symmetric graphs with a fixed number of nodes and edges. For example:

julia> using Random; Random.seed!(0);

julia> matrixdepot("erdrey", Int8, 5, 3)
5×5 SparseMatrixCSC{Int8,Int64} with 6 stored entries:
  [2, 1]  =  1
  [4, 1]  =  1
  [1, 2]  =  1
  [1, 4]  =  1
  [5, 4]  =  1
  [4, 5]  =  1

gilbert

An adjacency matrix of a Gilbert random graph: each possible edge occurs independently with a given probability.

smallworld

Motivated by the small world model proposed by Watts and Strogatz [wast98], we proposed a random graph model by adding shortcuts to a kth nearest neighbor ring (node \(i\) and \(j\) are connected iff \(|i-j| \leq k\) or \(|n - |i-j|| \leq k\)).

  Generate an adjacency matrix for a small world network. We model it by adding shortcuts to a
  kth nearest neighbour ring network (nodes i and j are connected iff |i -j| <= k or |n - |i
  -j|| <= k.) with n nodes.

  Input options:

    •    [type,] n, k, p: the dimension of the matrix is n. The number of nearest-neighbours
        to connect is k. The probability of adding a shortcut in a given row is p.

    •    [type,] n: k = 2 and p = 0.1.
