Generation and statistical analysis of complex networks

Net

"Net" is a program that performs statistical calculations on networks (graphs). It may also create networks by using the Fitness model formalism as in Ref. "G. Caldarelli et al., PRL 89, 258702 (2002)"

In order to run full matrix diagonalizations you must have GSL installed (see INSTALL file). You can still calculate partial spectra using lanczos methods.

In order to generate tag co-occurrence networks from a file containing a list of Tag Assignments, a perl interpreter must be installed.

If you have XMGRACE installed you can see results on the fly by switching on the RUN_GRACE flag.

If you have QT 3 installed you can use the graphical panel to edit the initialization file NET.INI.

If you have 'graphviz 1.8.10' (http://www.graphviz.org/) you can display the network on screen. In alternative you may use 'Guide' (http://www.cs.arizona.edu/~kobourov/GRIP/).

If you like to receive updates of the program, or send suggestions, or notify bugs, please sen me an e-mail to the addresses specified in the "AUTHORS" file.
