public class LinearizedChordDiagramGraphGenerator<V,E>
extends Object
implements GraphGenerator<V,E,V>

The linearized chord diagram graph model generator.

The generator makes precise several unspecified mathematical details of the Barabási-Albert model, such as the initial configuration of the first nodes, and whether the $m$ links assigned to a new node are added one by one, or simultaneously, etc. The generator is described in the paper: Bélaa Bollobás and Oliver Riordan. The Diameter of a Scale-Free Random Graph. Journal Combinatorica, 24(1): 5--34, 2004.

In contrast with the Barabási-Albert model, the model of Bollobás and Riordan allows for multiple edges (parallel-edges) and self-loops. They show, however, that their number will be small. This means that this generator works only on graphs which allow multiple edges (parallel-edges) such as Pseudograph or DirectedPseudograph.

The generator starts with a graph of one node and grows the network by adding $n-1$ additional nodes. The additional nodes are added one by one and each of them is connected to $m$ previously added nodes (or to itself with a small probability), where the probability of connecting to a node is proportional to its degree.
