Description

This function rewires the endpoints of the edges with a constant probability uniformly randomly to a new vertex in a graph.

Usage

Arguments

graph The input graph
prob The rewiring probability, a real number between zero and one.

Examples

# Some random shortcuts shorten the distances on a lattice
g <- graph.lattice( length=100, dim=1, nei=5 )
average.path.length(g)
g <- rewire.edges( g, prob=0.05 )
average.path.length(g)
