NAME¶
Graph::Maker::SmallWorldK - Creates a small world graph using Kleinberg's model in 2-dimensions
VERSION¶
Version 0.01
SYNOPSIS¶
Creates a small world graph according to Kleinberg's long-range connection model. In Kleinberg's model a small world graph is connected to nodes within manhattan (L1) distance P and has Q long range contacts referred to as K(N, P, Q, alpha) or K*(N, P, Q, alpha) (if it wraps-around). In addition Kleinberg's model gives all nodes a position so that routing can be done efficiently using a greedy algorithm, these positions are set in the 'pos' attribute for the vertices. If the graph is directed then edges are added in both directions to create an undirected graph.

# work with the graph
FUNCTIONS¶
new %params¶
Creates a small world graph with N^2 nodes in a 2-d grid, with connections to nodes within P manhattan units of distance, and Q random long-range connections to nodes determined by d(u, v) ** -alpha (where d is the manhattan distance) according to Kleinberg's model (the grid wraps-around if cyclic is specified). The recognized parameters are N, P, Q, cyclic, graph_maker, and alpha any others are passed onto Graph's constructor. If N is not given it defaults to 0. If P is not given it defaults to 1. If Q is not given it defaults to 0. If alpha is not given it defaults to 2 (2 <= alpha <= 3 allows poly-logarithmic routing using a local greedy algorithm). If cyclic is set then the "edges" of the grid are connected. The vertex attribute pos will be set to an array reference of the nodes d-dimensional position. If graph_maker is specified it will be called to create the Graph class as desired (for example if you have a subclass of Graph), this defaults to create a Graph with the parameters specified.
