Butterfly Counting on Uncertain Bipartite Graphs
Summary: Formalizes the uncertain butterfly in bipartite graphs and the Uncertain Butterfly Counting problem; presents exact baselines UBFC and an improved IUBFC with lower complexity and pruning heuristics. Also offers two sampling-based approximations UBS and PES for quick count estimates; empirical evaluation across diverse edge-probability distributions demonstrates efficiency and practicality.
