random_degree_sequence_graph¶

random_degree_sequence_graph(sequence, seed=None, tries=10)[source]¶

Return a simple random graph with the given degree sequence.

If the maximum degree \(d_m\) in the sequence is \(O(m^{1/4})\) then the algorithm produces almost uniform random graphs in \(O(m d_m)\) time where \(m\) is the number of edges.

Parameters:	sequence : list of integers Sequence of degrees seed : hashable object, optional Seed for random number generator tries : int, optional Maximum number of tries to create a graph
Returns:	G : Graph A graph with the specified degree sequence. Nodes are labeled starting at 0 with an index corresponding to the position in the sequence.
Raises:	NetworkXUnfeasible If the degree sequence is not graphical. NetworkXError If a graph is not produced in specified number of tries

Notes

The generator algorithm [R290] is not guaranteed to produce a graph.
