Local Search of Communities in Large Graphs

Summary: Local search strategy for community search in large graphs; confines exploration to a vertex's neighborhood rather than a global traversal. Non-monotonic minimum-degree quality measure complicates local search; the paper proposes theories and algorithms and validates them on synthetic and real networks with millions of nodes.
