Abstract
We study the problem of finding highly connected subgraphs of undirected and directed graphs. For undirected graphs, the notion of density of a subgraph we use is the average degree of the subgraph. For directed graphs, a corresponding notion of density was introduced recently by Kannan and Vinay. This is designed to quantify highly connectedness of substructures in a sparse directed graph such as the web graph. We study the optimization problems of finding subgraphs maximizing these notions of density for undirected and directed graphs. This paper gives simple greedy approximation algorithms for these optimization problems. We also answer an open question about the complexity of the optimization problem for directed graphs.

K-Connected Cores Computation in Large Dual Networks

TL;DR: A k-connected core (\(k\text {-}CCO\)) model in dual graphs is formulated and three algorithms for computing all maximum-connected cores (MCCO) are proposed, which are the existing \(k\ text {-]CCO\)s such that a \((k+1)\)-\(CCO%) does not exist.

Density-friendly Graph Decomposition

TL;DR: A linear-time algorithm is developed that provides a factor-2 approximation to the optimal locally dense decomposition of the k-core decomposition, however, in practice k-cores have different structure than locally dense subgraphs, and as predicted by the theory, k-Cores are not always well-aligned with graph density.

Detecting and characterizing small dense bipartite-like subgraphs by the bipartiteness ratio measure

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of finding and characterizing subgraphs with small bipartiteness ratio was studied, and a bicriteria approximation algorithm was proposed for the problem with a running time of O(e 2 θ − 2 k 1 + e ln 3 k).

Top-k Overlapping Densest Subgraphs: Approximation and Complexity

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the top-k-overlapping subgraphs problem is NP-hard even when k = 3, and that the problem is polynomial in the number of vertices in the graph.

Authoritative sources in a hyperlinked environment

TL;DR: This work proposes and test an algorithmic formulation of the notion of authority, based on the relationship between a set of relevant authoritative pages and the set of \hub pages that join them together in the link structure, that has connections to the eigenvectors of certain matrices associated with the link graph.

Trawling the Web for emerging cyber-communities

TL;DR: The subject of this paper is the systematic enumeration of over 100,000 emerging communities from a Web crawl, motivating a graph-theoretic approach to locating such communities, and describing the algorithms and algorithmic engineering necessary to find structures that subscribe to this notion.

The web as a graph: measurements, models, and methods

TL;DR: This paper describes two algorithms that operate on the Web graph, addressing problems from Web search and automatic community discovery, and proposes a new family of random graph models that point to a rich new sub-field of the study of random graphs, and raises questions about the analysis of graph algorithms on the Internet.

Inferring Web communities from link topology

TL;DR: This investigation shows that although the process by which users of the Web create pages and links is very difficult to understand at a “local” level, it results in a much greater degree of orderly high-level structure than has typically been assumed.

Calculate the density of directed and undirected graph?

The density of a directed graph is defined as the maximum density of any subset of vertices, while the density of an undirected graph is defined as the maximum density of any subset of vertices.
