This class template implements a generator for Erdös-Renyi graphs, suitable for initializing an adjacency_list or other graph structure with iterator-based initialization. An Erdös-Renyi graph G = (n, p) is a graph with n vertices that. The probability of having an edge (u, v) in G is p for any vertices u and v. Typically, there are no self-loops, but the generator can optionally introduce self-loops with probability p.

Erdös-Renyi graphs typically exhibit very little structure. For this reason, they are rarely useful in modeling real-world problems. However, they are often used when determining the theoretical complexity of complex graph algorithms.
