### Descriptions from Literature

From “[Energy Models for Graph Clustering](https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-24595-7_40)”:

> The difference between conventional energy models, node-repulsion LinLog, and edge-repulsion LinLog can be illustrated with a model of the trade between ten North American and European countries. The nodes of the graph correspond to the countries, and the edge weights specify the trade volume between each pair of countries. Because of geographical closeness and free trade agreements, countries on the same continent trade more intensively than countries on different continents. Figure 1 shows the minimum energy layouts of the trade graph for the three force and energy models. The layout of the widely used Fruchterman-Reingold model [20] does not show any clear groups at all. The layout of the node-repulsion LinLog energy model groups the countries (nodes) primarily according to their total trade volume (degree). Only the layout of the edge-repulsion LinLog energy model shows the expected grouping according to continents.
