graphscope.nx.generators.degree_seq.random_degree_sequence_graph(sequence, seed=None, tries=10)[source]#

Returns 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 (integer, random_state, or None (default)) – Indicator of random number generation state. See Randomness.

  • 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:

Graph

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.
