|
-
|
positive integers
|
p
|
-
|
numeric value between 0.0 and 1.0
|
m
|
-
|
non-negative integer
|
options
|
-
|
(optional) equation(s) of the form option=value where option is one of seed or weights

Options
|
|
|
Specifies whether the graph should be directed. The default is false.
|
|
Seed for the random number generator. When an integer is specified, this is equivalent to calling randomize(seed).
|
•
|
weights = range or procedure
|
|
If the option weights=m..n is specified, where are integers, the graph is a weighted graph with edge weights chosen from [m,n] uniformly at random. The weight matrix W in the graph has datatype=integer, and if the edge from vertex i to j is not in the graph then W[i,j] = 0.
|
|
If the option weights=x..y where are decimals is specified, the graph is a weighted graph with numerical edge weights chosen from [x,y] uniformly at random. The weight matrix W in the graph has datatype=float[8], that is, double precision floats (16 decimal digits), and if the edge from vertex i to j is not in the graph then W[i,j] = 0.0.
|
|
If the option weights=f where f is a function (a Maple procedure) that returns a number (integer, rational, or decimal number), then f is used to generate the edge weights. The weight matrix W in the graph has datatype=anything, and if the edge from vertex i to j is not in the graph then W[i,j] = 0.

Description
|
|
•
|
RandomBipartiteGraph(n, p) creates an unweighted bipartite graph on n vertices where each possible edge is present with probability p.
|
•
|
RandomBipartiteGraph(n, m) creates an unweighted bipartite graph on n vertices and m edges where the m edges are chosen uniformly at random.
|
•
|
RandomBipartiteGraph([a,b], p) creates an unweighted bipartite graph on a+b vertices with partite sets of sizes a and b, where each possible edge is present with probability p.
|
•
|
RandomBipartiteGraph([a,b], m) creates an unweighted bipartite graph on a+b vertices with partite sets of sizes a and b, and with m edges chosen uniformly at random.
|
•
|
By default, the created bipartite graph is undirected. If the option directed or directed=true is given, the resulting graph is directed.
|
•
|
The random number generator used can be seeded using the seed option or the randomize function.
