    The graph "power" contains an undirected unweighted representation of the  
    topology of the Western States Power Grid of the United States, compiled by
    Duncan Watts and Steven Strogatz.  The data are from the web site of       
    Prof. Duncan Watts at Columbia University,                                 
    http://cdg.columbia.edu/cdg/datasets.  Node IDs are the same as those used 
    by Prof. Watts.

    Note by Tim Davis: this graph has the same number of nodes and edges       
    as the Pajek/USpowerGrid graph.  They are related as follows:              
                                                                               
       Prob1 = UFget ('Newman/power')                                          
       Prob2 = UFget ('Pajek/USpowerGrid')                                     
       A = Prob1.A ;                                                           
       B = Prob2.B ;                                                           
       n = size (A,1) ;                                                        
       p = [2:n 1] ;                                                           
       isequal (A (p,p), B)                                                    
                                                                               
    This is because of the way the Pajek data set converted 0-based node IDs   
    to 1-based.  In the Pajek set, node 0 is renamed node n, and this          
    translation was then imported into the Pajek/ Group in the UF collection.  
    The standard convention in MATLAB, and (elsewhere) in the UF Collection,   
    is to map nodes 0:n-1 of a zero-based graph to 1:n.  The latter translation
    preserves the relative numbering of all the nodes; the Pajek translation   
    does not.                                                                  
                                                                               
    Although technically Newman/power is a duplicate matrix, I have added it   
    to the UF Collection to preserve the original relative node ordering.
