Interface CoresAlgo

All Known Implementing Classes:

CoresAlgoAbstract, CoresAlgoImpl

public interface CoresAlgo

Cores computing algorithm.

Given a graph \(G=(V,E)\), a subgraph \(H\) induced by a subset of vertices \(W\) is a \(k\)-core or a core of order \(k\) if \(\forall v \in W : deg_H(v) \geq k\) and \(H\) is a maximal subgraph with this property. The core number of vertex is the highest order of a core that contains this vertex. The degree \(deg(v)\) can be: in-degree, out-degree, in-degree + out-degree, determining different types of cores. See EdgeDirection for more details.

Use newInstance() to get a default implementation of this interface.

Method Detail

computeCores

default <V,E> CoresAlgo.Result<V,E> computeCores(Graph<V,E> g)

Compute the cores of the graph with respect to both in and out degree of the vertices.

If g is IntGraph, the returned object is CoresAlgo.IResult.

For a detail description of the cores definition, see the interface documentation CoresAlgo.

Type Parameters:

V - the vertices type

E - the edges type

Parameters:

g - a graph

Returns:

the cores of the graph

computeCores

<V,E> CoresAlgo.Result<V,E> computeCores(Graph<V,E> g,
                                                     EdgeDirection degreeType)

Compute the cores of the graph with respect the given degree type.

Cores are defined with respect to either the out edges, in edges, or both. For undirected graphs the degree type is ignored.

If g is IntGraph, the returned object is CoresAlgo.IResult.

For a detail description of the cores definition, see the interface documentation CoresAlgo.

Type Parameters:

V - the vertices type

E - the edges type

Parameters:

g - a graph

degreeType - the degree type the cores are computed with respect to

Returns:

the cores of the graph

newInstance

static CoresAlgo newInstance()

Create a new cores algorithm object.

This is the recommended way to instantiate a new CoresAlgo object.

Returns:

a default implementation of CoresAlgo
