An erdosrenyi er graph on the vertex set \v\ is a random graph which connects each pair of nodes i,j with probability \p\, independent. Erdosrenyi or bernoulli random graphs are one example of a random graph but there are many others.
The theory of random graphs lies at the intersection between graph theory and probability theory. A graph consists of a set of vertices v and a set of edges e which connect the vertices together.

You then go over all possible edges one by one, and independently add each one with probability. In the context of connected and undirected graphs or random graphs. While the above method is the standard python way of creating a random graph, you are not forced to use the networkx library which you may have to install with pip before being able to use it. I should mention that the sharp threshold property which was proved by erdos and renyi for connectivity can be proved with harder proofs from more general principles. This example has been extensively studied and a very nice account of many of the results can be found in the classic book of bollobas 2001, so here we will give.
