ring_lattice: Ring lattice graph

Description

Creates a ring lattice with $n$ vertices, each one of degree (at most) $k$ as an undirected graph. This is the basis of rgraph_ws.

Usage

ring_lattice(n, k, undirected = FALSE)

Arguments

n
Integer scalar. Size of the graph.
k
Integer scalar. Out-degree of each vertex.
undirected
Logical scalar. Whether the graph is undirected or not.

Value

A sparse matrix of class dgCMatrix of size $n * n$.

Details

when undirected=TRUE, the degree of each node always even. So if k=3, then the degree will be 2.
