each_edge: Rewires the endpoints of the edges of a graph to a random vertex

Description

This function can be used together with rewire. This method rewires the endpoints of the edges with a constant probability uniformly randomly to a new vertex in a graph.

Usage

each_edge(prob, loops = FALSE, multiple = FALSE)

Arguments

prob

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

loops

Logical scalar, whether loop edges are allowed in the rewired graph.

multiple

Logical scalar, whether multiple edges are allowed int the generated graph.

Details

Note that this method might create graphs with multiple and/or loop edges.

Examples

# Some random shortcuts shorten the distances on a lattice
g <- make_lattice(length = 100, dim = 1, nei = 5)
mean_distance(g)
g <- rewire(g, each_edge(prob = 0.05))
mean_distance(g)
