lattice_reference#

lattice_reference(G, niter=5, D=None, connectivity=True, seed=None)[source]#

Latticize the given graph by swapping edges.

Parameters:
Ggraph

An undirected graph with 4 or more nodes.

niterinteger (optional, default=1)

An edge is rewired approximatively niter times.

Dnumpy.array (optional, default=None)

Distance to the diagonal matrix.

connectivityboolean (optional, default=True)

Ensure connectivity for the latticized graph when set to True.

seedinteger, random_state, or None (default)

Indicator of random number generation state. See Randomness.

Returns:
Ggraph

The latticized graph.

Notes

The implementation is adapted from the algorithm by Sporns et al. [1]. which is inspired from the original work by Maslov and Sneppen(2002) [2].
