Approximate Closest Community Search in Networks

Summary: Introduces closest truss community search to curb free riders by maximizing trussness while minimizing diameter around query nodes. Despite strong inapproximability, a greedy 2-approximation plus truss indexing and deletion optimizations enables scalable search. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
