Re: [Boost-users] [BGL] what is the "Power-Law Out Degree" algorithm?

Right, it's not the Barabasi-Albert model. PLOD makes it easier to generate the graph in one shot on initialization. Here's the entry on CiteSeer:

I've added it to the BGL bibliography, where it should have been all along.

Hi Doug, Thanks for this. Just out of curiosity, what were the reasons to choose this particular power-law generator? Shouldn't the BGL also target more accepted algorithms like the Barabasi-Albert? I mean, the PLOD model does not really stand shoulder to shoulder with the small word and erdos-renyi, does it? Thanks, Rui
