The Watts and Strogatz model is a random graph generation model that produces graphs with small-world properties, including short average path lengths and high clustering. It was proposed by Duncan J. Watts and Steven Strogatz in their joint 1998 Nature paper. The model also became known as the Watts beta model after Watts used to formulate it in his popular science book Six Degrees. The formal study of random graphs dates back to the work of Paul Erd s and Alfréd Rényi. The graphs they considered, now known as the classical or Erd s Rényi graphs, offer a simple and powerful model with many applications.

The theory of random graphs lies at the intersection between graph theory and probability theory, and studies the properties of typical random graphs. A random graph is obtained by starting with a set of n vertices and adding edges between them at random. Different random graph models produce different probability distributions on graphs. Most commonly studied is the Erd s Rényi model, denoted G(n,p), in which every possible edge occurs independently with probability p. A closely related model, denoted G(n,M), assigns equal probability to all graphs with exactly M edges. The latter model can be viewed as a snapshot at a particular time (M) of the random graph process, which is a stochastic process that starts with n vertices and no edges and at each step adds one new edge chosen uniformly from the set of missing edges.
