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.

Span-core Decomposition for Temporal Networks: Algorithms and Applications

TL;DR: This article introduces a notion of temporal core decomposition where each core is associated with two quantities, its coreness, which quantifies how densely it is connected, and its span, which is a temporal interval: it derives a connection between this problem and the problem of finding (maximal) span-cores and shows how temporal community search can be solved in polynomial-time via dynamic programming.

Metric Sublinear Algorithms via Linear Sampling

TL;DR: This work presents a sampling approach for such metric graphs that, using a sublinear number of edge weight queries, provides a linear sampling, where each edge is sampled proportionally to its weight.

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.
