bb_fitness(1) -- Grow a random graph with the fitness model
======
## SYNOPSIS
`bb_fitness` <N> <m> <n0> [SHOW]
## DESCRIPTION
`bb_fitness` grows an undirected random scale-free graph with <N>
nodes using the fitness model proposed by Bianconi and Barabasi. The
initial network is a clique of <n0> nodes, and each new node creates
<m> new edges. The probability that a new node create an edge to node
`j` is proportional to
a_j * k_j
where `a_j` is the attractiveness (fitness) of node `j`. The values of
node attractiveness are sampled uniformly in the interval [0,1].
## PARAMETERS
* <N>:
Number of nodes of the final graph.
* <m>:
Number of edges created by each new node.
* <n0>:
Number of nodes in the initial (seed) graph.
* SHOW:
If the fourth parameter is equal to `SHOW`, the values of node
attractiveness are printed on STDERR.
## OUTPUT
`bb_fitness` prints on STDOUT the edge list of the final graph.
## EXAMPLES
The following command:
$ bb_fitness 10000 3 4 > bb_fitness_10000_3_4.txt
uses the fitness model to create a random graph with <N=10000> nodes,
where each new node creates <m=3> new edges and the initial seed
network is a ring of <n0=5> nodes. The edge list of the resulting
graph is saved in the file `bb_fitness_10000_3_4.txt` (notice the
redirection operator `>`). The command:
$ bb_fitness 10000 3 4 SHOW > bb_fitness_10000_3_4.txt 2> bb_fitness_10000_3_4.txt_fitness
will do the same as above, but it will additionally save the values of
node fitness in the file `bb_fitness_10000_3_4.txt_fitness` (notice
the redirection operator `2>`, that redirects the STDERR to the
specified file).
