I am interested in constructing simple connected graphs where each vertex has a fixed number of edges (degree) ahead of time. I had originally assume I could use some modification of the Havel-Hakimi algorithm to do this, but Havel-Hakimi isn't actually guaranteed to produce connected graphs. Are there any known algorithms to do this?

1$\begingroup$ Does each vertex have a maximum degree fixed ahead of time, or is the exact desired degree known for each vertex? $\endgroup$ – Stella Biderman Aug 9 '18 at 2:33

$\begingroup$ @StellaBiderman I know the exact desired degree for each vertex. $\endgroup$ – Eric J Aug 9 '18 at 2:37
