+
+<p><code>dms</code> grows an undirected random scale-free graph with <var>N</var> nodes using
+the modified linear preferential attachment model proposed by
+Dorogovtsev, Mendes and Samukhin. The initial network is a clique of
+<var>n0</var> nodes, and each new node creates <var>m</var> new edges. The resulting
+graph will have a scale-free degree distribution, whose exponent
+converges to <code>gamma=3.0 + a/m</code> for large <var>N</var>.</p>

+
+<p><code>dms</code> prints on STDOUT the edge list of the final graph.</p>
+
+<h2 id="EXAMPLES">EXAMPLES</h2>
+
+<p>Let us assume that we want to create a scale-free network with
+<var>N=10000</var> nodes, with average degree equal to 8, whose degree
+distribution has exponent</p>
+
+<pre><code> gamma = 2.5
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>Since <code>dms</code> produces graphs with scale-free degree sequences with an
+exponent <code>gamma = 3.0 + a/m</code>, the command:</p>
+
+<pre><code> $ dms 10000 4 4 -2.0 &gt; dms_10000_4_4_-2.0.txt
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>will produce the desired network. In fact, the average degree of the
+graph will be:</p>
+
+<pre><code> &lt;k> = 2m = 8
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>and the exponent of the power-law degree distribution will be:</p>
+
+<pre><code> gamma = 3.0 + a/m = 3.0 -0.5 = 2.5
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>The following command:</p>
+
+<pre><code> $ dms 10000 3 5 0 &gt; dms_10000_3_5_0.txt
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>creates a scale-free graph with <var>N=10000</var> nodes, where each new node
+creates <var>m=3</var> new edges and the initial seed network is a ring of
+<var>n0=5</var> nodes. The degree distribution of the final graph will have
+exponent equal to <code>gamma = 3.0 + a/m = 3.0</code>. In this case, <code>dms</code>
+produces a Barabasi-Albert graph (see <a class="man-ref" href="ba.1.html">ba<span class="s">(1)</span></a> for details). The edge
+list of the graph is saved in the file <code>dms_10000_3_5_0.txt</code> (thanks
+to the redirection operator <code>&gt;</code>).</p>
