%function M=Lrandnetwork(N,p,pow,rotlen)
%
%  Creates a network, where directed loops of length rotlen are promoted.
%
%  Input:
%    N - number of nodes
%    p - connection probability OR a vector of length N denoting the
%        probabilities of each number inputs
%    pow - the strength of the loop promotion [0,inf]
%    rotlen - the promoted loop length
%
%  Output:
%    M - the connectivity matrix such that M(i,j) denotes the existence of
%        an edge from i to j
