dense_gnm_random_graph

dense_gnm_random_graph(n, m, seed=None)

Return the random graph G_{n,m}.

Gives a graph picked randomly out of the set of all graphs with n nodes and m edges. This algorithm should be faster than gnm_random_graph for dense graphs.

Parameters:

n : int

The number of nodes.

m : int

The number of edges.

seed : int, optional

Seed for random number generator (default=None).
