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 – A graph with the specified degree sequence. Nodes are labeled starting at 0 with an index corresponding to the position in the sequence.
Return type: 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 [1] is not guaranteed to produce a graph.
