Efficient Algorithms for Densest Subgraph Discovery

Summary: Reduces densest-subgraph discovery to strategically identifying k-cores, enabling exact and approximation algorithms with guarantees. Generalizes across edge-, clique-, and pattern-based densities, achieving up to 10,000× speedups over prior methods. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
