K-core decomposition of graphs
The k-core of graph is a maximal subgraph in which each vertex has at least degree k. The coreness of a vertex is k if it belongs to the k-core but not to the (k+1)-core.

The type of the core in directed graphs. Character constant,

The k-core of a graph is the maximal subgraph in which every vertex has at least degree k. The cores of a graph form layers: the (k+1)-core is always a subgraph of the k-core.
This function calculates the coreness for each vertex.
Numeric vector of integer numbers giving the coreness of each vertex.
