k_corona

k_corona(G, k, core_number=None)

Returns the k-corona of G.

The k-corona is the subgraph of nodes in the k-core which have exactly k neighbours in the k-core.

Parameters:

GNetworkX graph

A graph or directed graph

kint

The order of the corona.

core_numberdictionary, optional

Precomputed core numbers for the graph G.

Returns:

GNetworkX graph

The k-corona subgraph

Raises:

NetworkXError

The k-cornoa is not defined for graphs with self loops or parallel edges.

core_number

Notes

Not implemented for graphs with parallel edges or self loops.

For directed graphs the node degree is defined to be the in-degree + out-degree.

Graph, node, and edge attributes are copied to the subgraph.
