The k-core of graph is a maximal subgraph in which each vertex has at least degree k. The coreness of a vertex is k if it belongs to the k-core but not to the (k+1)-core.
Usage
coreness(graph, mode = c("all", "out", "in"))
Arguments
- graph
The input graph, it can be directed or undirected
- mode
The type of the core in directed graphs. Character constant, possible values:
in
: in-cores are computed,out
: out-cores are computed,all
: the corresponding undirected graph is considered. This argument is ignored for undirected graphs.
Details
The k-core of a graph is the maximal subgraph in which every vertex has at least degree k. The cores of a graph form layers: the (k+1)-core is always a subgraph of the k-core.
This function calculates the coreness for each vertex.
