Find k-cores of an undirected graph - GeeksforGeeks
Given a graph G and an integer K, K-cores of the graph are connected components that are left after all vertices of degree less than k have been removed

The standard algorithm to find a k-core graph is to remove all the vertices that have degree less than- ‘K’ from the input graph. We must be careful that removing a vertex reduces the degree of all the vertices adjacent to it, hence the degree of adjacent vertices can also drop below-‘K’. And thus, we may have to remove those vertices also. This process may/may not go until there are no vertices left in the graph.
To implement above algorithm, we do a modified DFS on the input graph and delete all the vertices having degree less than ‘K’, then update degrees of all the adjacent vertices, and if their degree falls below ‘K’ we will delete them too.
Time complexity of the above solution is O(V + E) where V is number of vertices and E is number of edges.

Degeneracy : Degeneracy of a graph is the largest value k such that the graph has a k-core. For example, the above shown graph has a 3-Cores and doesn’t have 4 or higher cores. Therefore, above graph is 3-degenerate.
Degeneracy of a graph is used to measure how sparse graph is.
// A recursive function to print DFS starting from v.
// It returns true of degree of v after processing is less
// than k else false
// It also updates degree of adjacent if degree of v
// is less than k.  And if degree of a processed adjacent
// becomes less than k, then it reduces of degree of v also,
bool Graph::DFSUtil(int v, vector<bool> &visited,
                    vector<int> &vDegree, int k)
{
    // Mark the current node as visited and print it
    visited[v] = true;
 
    // Recur for all the vertices adjacent to this vertex
    list<int>::iterator i;
    for (i = adj[v].begin(); i != adj[v].end(); ++i)
    {
        // degree of v is less than k, then degree of adjacent
        // must be reduced
        if (vDegree[v] < k)
            vDegree[*i]--;
 
        // If adjacent is not processed, process it
        if (!visited[*i])
        {
            // If degree of adjacent after processing becomes
            // less than k, then reduce degree of v also.
            if (DFSUtil(*i, visited, vDegree, k))
                vDegree[v]--;
        }
    }
 
    // Return true if degree of v is less than k
    return (vDegree[v] < k);

    // vertices.
