With the proliferation of mobile technology and IT development, people can use social network services at any place and anytime. Among many social network mining problems, identifying cohesive subgraphs attract many attentions from different fields due to its numerous applications. Among many cohesive subgraph models, k-core is the most widely used model due to its simple and intuitive structure. In this paper, we formulate (p,n)-core in signed networks by extending k-core. (p,n)-core simultaneously guarantees sufficient internal positive edges and deficient internal negative edges. We formally prove that finding an exact (p,n)-core is NP-hard. Hence, we propose three efficient and effective algorithms to find a solution. Using real-world and synthetic networks, we demonstrate the superiority of our proposed algorithms. |
