gCore: Exploring Cross-layer Cohesiveness in Multi-layer Graphs
Summary: Introduces gCore, a generalized core for arbitrary multi-layer graphs capturing intra- and cross-layer cohesiveness without assuming inter-layer constraints. Offers polynomial peeling for search and a compact KP-tree 'tree-of-trees' index with lossless compaction (elimination, transplant, merge) for efficient decomposition, indexing, and linear-time retrieval.
