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.

MOHCS: Towards Mining Overlapping Highly Connected Subgraphs

TL;DR: This paper first proves some properties related to highly connected graph, then redefine the highly connected subgraph, which results in an algorithm that determines whether a given graph is highly connected in linear time, and presents a computationally efficient algorithm, called MOHCS, for mining overlapping highlyconnected subgraphs.

Discovering top-weighted k-truss communities in large graphs

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors consider both link structure and link weight to discover top-r weighted k-truss communities via community search, which are those communities with the highest weight and the highest cohesiveness within the network.

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.

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.
