Local Algorithms for Hierarchical Dense Subgraph Discovery

Summary: Local, parallel algorithms for core, truss, and nucleus decompositions enable hierarchical dense-subgraph discovery without synchronization. Extends h-index to higher-order decompositions with convergence bounds, enabling local, scalable approximations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
