class GlobalCurveball : public NetworKit::Algorithm

Public Functions

explicit GlobalCurveball(const Graph &G, count number_of_global_trades = 20, bool allowSelfLoops = false, bool degreePreservingShufflePreprocessing = true)

Instantiate a GlobalCurveball object

Note

Self loops can only be realized for directed graphs.

Warning

If self loops are forbidden, degreePreservingShuffle is necessary for directed graphs, since otherwise some topologies cannot be realized (i.e., only preprocessing allows for uniform samples).

Parameters:
  • G – Undirected and unweighted graph to be randomized

  • number_of_global_trades – Number of global trades to be executed (each edge is considered exactly twice per global traded)

  • allowSelfLoops – May only be set if graph is directed.

  • degreePreservingShufflePreprocessing – Execute DegreePreservingShuffle (see Algorithm for description) as a preprocessing step. This is more efficient than calling the algorithm explicitly.

~GlobalCurveball() override
virtual void run() final

Execute trades as configured in the constructor. The algorithm is not parallel.

Warning

This function has to be called exactly one before invoking getGraph()

Graph getGraph()

Returns a new graph instance with the same degree sequence as the input graph, but with randomized neighbourhoods.
