The k-core of a graph is its maximal subgraph with minimum degree at least k, and the core value of a vertex u is the largest k for which u is contained in the k-core of the graph. Among cohesive subgraphs, k-core and its variants have…
As one of the most well-studied cohesive subgraph models, the $k$-core is widely used to find graph nodes that are ``central'' or ``important'' in many applications, such as biological networks, social networks, ecological networks, and…
In complex networks, many elements interact with each other in different ways. A hypergraph is a network in which group interactions occur among more than two elements. In this study, first, we propose a method to identify influential…
Hypergraphs are higher-order networks that capture the interactions between two or more nodes. Hypergraphs can always be represented by factor graphs, i.e. bipartite networks between nodes and factor nodes (representing groups of nodes).…
