kCores: Find all the k-cores in a hypergraph

In Bioconductor/hypergraph: A package providing hypergraph data structures

Find all the k-cores in a hypergraph

Description

Find all the k-cores in a hypergraph

Usage

kCoresHypergraph(hg)

Arguments

hg	an instance of the Hypergraph class

Details

A k-core in a hypergraph is a maximal subhypergraph where (a) no hyperedge is contained in another, and (b) each node is adjacent to at least k hyperedges in the subgraph.

The implementation is based on the algorithm by E. Ramadan, A. Tarafdar, A. Pothen, 2004.

Value

A vector of the core numbers for all the nodes in g.

# to turn the snacoreex.gxl (from RBGL package) graph to a hypergraph
# this is a rough example
