Watts-Strogatz Small-world Network

Description

Simulate a small-world network according to the model of Watts and Strogatz (1998).

Usage

net.watts.strogatz(n, k, re)

Arguments

n

The number of the nodes in the network (or lattice).

k

Number of edges per node.

re

Rewiring probability.

Details

The formation of Watts-Strogatz network starts with a ring lattice with n nodes and k edges per node, then each edge is rewired at random with probability re.

Value

A list containing the nodes of the network and their respective neighbors.
