A popular model to measure the stability of a network is k-core - the maximal induced subgraph in which every vertex has at least k neighbors. Many studies maximize the number of vertices in k-core to improve the stability of a network. In…

Max Restricted Path Consistency (maxRPC) is a local consistency for binary constraints that can achieve considerably stronger pruning than arc consistency. However, existing maxRRC algorithms suffer from overheads and redundancies as they…

Given an undirected graph, the k-vertex cut problem (k-VCP) asks for a minimum-cost set of vertices whose removal yields at least k connected components in the resulting graph. The k-VCP is an important problem in network optimization, with…
Multi-layer networks or multiplex networks are generally considered as the networks that have the same set of vertices but different types of edges. Multi-layer networks are especially useful when describing the systems with several kinds…
