A Sequential Importance Sampling Algorithm for Generating Random Graphs with Prescribed Degrees

Random graphs with given degrees are a natural next step in complexity beyond the Erdős-Rényi model, yet the degree constraint greatly complicates simulation and estimation. We use an extension of a combinatorial characterization due to Erdős and Gallai to develop a sequential algorithm for generati...
