@*Random graphs. This GraphBase module provides two external
subroutines called |random_graph| and |random_bigraph|, which generate
graphs in which the arcs or edges have been selected ``at random.''  A
third subroutine, |random_lengths|, randomizes the lengths of the arcs
of a given graph.  The performance of algorithms on such graphs can
fruitfully be compared to their performance on the nonrandom graphs
generated by other GraphBase routines.

Before reading this code, the reader should be familiar with the
basic data structures and conventions described in |gb_graph|. The
routines in |gb_graph| are loaded together with all GraphBase applications,
and the programs below are typical illustrations of how to use them.

@ The procedure |random_graph(n,m,multi,self,directed,dist_from,dist_to,min_len,max_len,seed)|
is designed to produce a pseudo-random graph with |n| vertices and |m| arcs or
edges, using pseudo-random numbers that depend on |seed| in a system-independent
fashion. The remaining parameters specify a variety of options:
$$\vcenter{\halign{#\hfil\cr
|multi!=0| permits duplicate arcs;\cr
|self!=0| permits self-loops (arcs from a vertex to itself);\cr
|directed!=0| makes the graph directed; otherwise each arc becomes an undirected
  edge;\cr
|dist_from| and |dist_to| specify probability distributions on the arcs;\cr
|min_len| and |max_len| bound the arc lengths, which will be uniformly
distributed between these limits.\cr
}}$$
If |dist_from| or |dist_to| are |NULL|, the probability distribution is
uniform over vertices; otherwise the \\{dist} parameter points to an array of
|n| nonnegative integers that sum to $2^{30}$, specifying the respective
probabilities (times $2^{30}$) that each given vertex will appear as the
source or destination of the random arcs.

A special option |multi=-1| is provided. This acts exactly like |multi=1|, except
that arcs are not physically duplicated in computer memory---they are replaced
by a single arc whose length is the minimum of all arcs having a common source
and destination.

The vertices are named simply |"0"|, |"1"|, |"2"|, and so on.

@ Examples: |random_graph(1000,5000,0,0,0,NULL,NULL,1,1,0)| creates a random
undirected graph with 1000 vertices and 5000 edges (hence 10000 arcs) of
length~1, having
no duplicate edges or self-loops. There are ${1000\choose2}=499500$ possible
undirected edges on 1000 vertices, hence there are exactly $499500\choose5000$
possible graphs meeting these specifications; every such graph would be
equally likely, if |random_graph| had access to an ideal source of
random numbers. The GraphBase programs are designed to be
system-independent, so that identical graphs will be obtained by
everybody who asks for |random_graph(1000,5000,0,0,0,NULL,NULL,1,1,0)|.
Equivalent experiments on algorithms for graph manipulation can therefore
be performed by researchers in different parts of the world.

The subroutine call |random_graph(1000,5000,0,0,0,NULL,NULL,1,1,s)|
will produce different graphs when the random seed |s| varies;
however, the graph for any particular value of~|s| will be the same on
all computers. The seed value can be any integer in the range $0\le s<2^{31}$.

To get a random directed graph, allowing self-loops and repeated arcs,
and with a uniform distribution on vertices, ask for
$$\hbox{|random_graph(n,m,1,1,1,NULL,NULL,1,1,s)|}.$$
Each of the $m$ arcs of that digraph has probability $1/n^2$ of being from
$u$ to $v$, for all $u$ and~$v$. If self-loops are disallowed (by
changing `|1,1,1|' to `|1,0,1|'), each arc has probability
$1/(n^2-n)$ of being from $u$ to $v$, for all $u\ne v$.

To get a random directed graph in which vertex $k$ is twice as likely
as vertex $k+1$ to be the source of an arc but only half as likely to
be the destination of an arc, for all~$k$, try
$$\hbox{|random_graph(25,m,1,1,1,d0,d1,0,255,s)|}$$
where the arrays |d0| and |d1| have the static declarations
$$\vbox{
\hbox{|long d0[31]={0x20000000,0x10000000,@t\dots@>,4,2,1,1};|}
\hbox{|long d1[31]={1,1,2,4,@t\dots@>,0x10000000,0x20000000};|}}$$
then about 1/4 of the arcs will run from 0 to 30, while arcs
from 30 to 0 will be extremely rare (occurring with probability $2^{-60}$).
Incidentally, the arc lengths in this example will be random bytes,
uniformly distributed between 0 and 255, because the |min_len=0| and
|max_len=255|.

If we forbid repeated arcs in this example, by setting |multi=0|, the
effect is to discard all arcs having the same source and destination
as a previous arc, regardless of length. In such a case |m| had better not
be too large, because the algorithm will keep going until it has found
|m| distinct arcs, and many arcs are quite rare indeed; they will
probably not be found until hundreds of centuries have elapsed.

A random bipartite graph can also be obtained as a special case of
|random_graph|; this case is explained below.

Semantics:
If |multi=directed=0| and |self!=0|, we have an undirected graph without duplicate
edges but with self-loops permitted. A self-loop then consists of
two identical self-arcs, in spite of the fact that |multi=0|.

@ If the |random_graph| routine encounters a problem, it returns
|NULL|, after putting a code number into the external variable
|panic_code|. This code number identifies the type of failure.
Otherwise |random_graph| returns a pointer to the newly created graph
and leaves |panic_code| unchanged. The |gb_alloc_trouble| will be
cleared to zero after |random_graph| has acted.

@* Nonuniform random number generation. The |random_graph| procedure is
complete except for the parts that handle general distributions |dist_from|
and |dist_to|. First, we had better check the input to make sure that
it is well formed; otherwise disaster can ensue later. This part
of the program is easy:

 @<Check the distribution parameters@>=
{@+register long acc; /* sum of probabilities */
  register long *p; /* pointer to current probability of interest */
  if (dist_from) {
    for (acc=0,@,p=dist_from; p<dist_from+n; p++) {
      if (*p<0) panic(invalid_operand);
        /* |dist_from| contains a negative entry */
      if (*p>0x40000000-acc) panic(invalid_operand+1);
        /* probability too high */
      acc+=*p;
    }
    if (acc!=0x40000000)
      panic(invalid_operand+2); /* |dist_from| table doesn't sum to $2^{30}$ */
  }
  if (dist_to) {
    for (acc=0,@,p=dist_to; p<dist_to+n; p++) {
      if (*p<0) panic(invalid_operand+5);
         /* |dist_to| contains a negative entry */
      if (*p>0x40000000-acc) panic(invalid_operand+6);
         /* probability too high */ 
     acc+=*p;
    }
    if (acc!=0x40000000)
      panic(invalid_operand+7); /* |dist_to| table doesn't sum to $2^{30}$ */
  }
}

@ We generate nonuniform distributions by using Alistair J. Walker's alias
method (see, for example, {\sl Seminumerical Algorithms}, second edition,
exercise 3.4.1--7). This involves setting up ``magic'' tables
of length |nn|, where |nn| is the smallest power of~2 that is |>=n|.

@f magic_entry int

@<Local v...@>=
long nn=1; /* this will be increased to $2^{\lceil\mskip1mu\lg n\rceil}$ */
int kk=31; /* this will be decreased to $31-\lceil\mskip1mu\lg n\rceil$ */
magic_entry *dist_from_table, *dist_to_table; /* alias tables */

@ @<Build...@>=
{
  if (dist_from) {
    while (nn<n) nn+=nn, kk--;
    dist_from_table=walker(n,nn,dist_from,new_graph);
  }
  if (dist_to) {
    while (nn<n) nn+=nn, kk--;
    dist_to_table=walker(n,nn,dist_to,new_graph);
  }
  if (gb_alloc_trouble) {
    gb_recycle(new_graph);
    panic(alloc_fault); /* oops, we ran out of memory somewhere back there */
  }
}

@ @<Private...@>=
typedef struct {
  long prob; /* a probability, multiplied by $2^{31}$ and translated */
  long inx; /* index that might be selected */
} magic_entry;

@ Once the magic tables have been set up, we will be able to generate
nonuniform vertices by using the following code:

@<Generate a random vertex |u|...@>=
{@+register magic_entry *magic;
  register long uu=gb_next_rand(); /* uniform random number */
  k=uu>>kk;
  magic=dist_from_table+k;
  if (uu<=magic->prob) u=new_graph->vertices+k;
  else u=new_graph->vertices+magic->inx;
}

@ @<Generate a random vertex |v|...@>=
{@+register magic_entry *magic;
  register long uu=gb_next_rand(); /* uniform random number */
  k=uu>>kk;
  magic=dist_to_table+k;
  if (uu<=magic->prob) v=new_graph->vertices+k;
  else v=new_graph->vertices+magic->inx;
}

@ So all we have to do is set up those magic tables. If |uu| is a uniform
random integer between 0 and $2^{31}-1$, the index |k=uu>>kk| will be a
uniform random integer between 0
and |nn-1|, because of the relation between |nn| and |kk|. Once |k| is
computed in the code above, we will select vertex~|k| with probability
|(p+1-(k<<kk))|/$2^{31}$, where |p=magic->prob| and |magic| is the $k$th
element of the magic table; otherwise we will select
vertex |magic->inx|. The trick is to set things up so that each vertex
is selected with the proper overall probability.

Let's imagine that the given distribution vector has length |nn|,
instead of~|n|, by extending it if necessary with zeroes. Then the
average entry among these |nn| integers is exactly $t=2^{30}/|nn|$.
If some entry, say entry~|i|, exceeds |t|, there must be another entry
that's less than |t|, say entry~|j|. We can set the $j$th entry
of the magic table so that its |prob| field selects vertex~$j$ with the
correct probability, and so that its |vert| field equals~|i|. Then
we are selecting vertex~|i| with a certain residual probability, so we
subtract that residual from |i|'s present probability, and repeat the
process with vertex~|j| eliminated. The average of the remaining entries
is still~|t|, so we can repeat this procedure until all remaining entries
are exactly equal to~|t|. The rest is easy.

During the calculation, we will maintain two linked lists of
|(prob,vert)| pairs; the |hi| list will contain entries with |prob>t|,
and the |lo| list will contain the rest. We'll call these list
elements `nodes'; and we'll use the field names |key| and~|j| instead
of |prob| and |vert| during this part of the computation.

@*Random bipartite graphs. The procedure call
$$\hbox{|random_bigraph(n1,n2,m,multi,dist1,dist2,min_len,max_len,seed)|}$$
is designed to produce a pseudo-random bipartite graph
with |n1| vertices in one part and |n2| in the other, having |m| edges.
The remaining parameters |multi|, |dist1|, |dist2|, |min_len|, |max_len|,
and |seed| have the same meaning as the analogous parameters of |random_graph|.

In fact, |random_bigraph| does its work by reducing its parameters
to a special case of |random_graph|. Almost all that needs to be done is
to pad |dist1| with |n2| trailing zeroes and |dist2| with |n1| leading
zeroes. The only slightly tricky part occurs when |dist1| and/or |dist2| are
null, since non-null distribution vectors summing exactly to $2^{30}$ must then
be fabricated.

@* Random lengths. The subroutine call
$$\hbox{|random_lengths(g,directed,min_len,max_len,dist,seed)|}$$
takes an existing graph and assigns new lengths to
each of its arcs. The lengths will be uniformly distributed between
|min_len| and |max_len| inclusive, if |dist=NULL|; otherwise |dist|
should be a probability distribution vector of length |max_len-min_len+1|,
like those in |random_graph|.

If |directed=0|, pairs of arcs $u\to v$ and $v\to u$ will be regarded as
a single edge, both arcs receiving the same length.

The procedure returns a nonzero value if something goes wrong; in that
case, graph |g| will not have been changed.

Alias tables for generating nonuniform random lengths will survive
