public class WireScaleFreeBA
extends WireGraph

This class contains the implementation of the Barabasi-Albert model of growing scale free networks. The original model is described in http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0106096. It also contains the option of building a directed network, in which case the model is a variation of the BA model described in http://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-mat/0408391. In both cases, the number of the initial set of nodes is the same as the degree parameter, and no links are added. The first added node is connected to all of the initial nodes, and after that the BA model is used normally.
