Abstract
The granular structures emphasize a multilevel and multiview understanding of problems. This paper focuses on a study of how to granulate a graph, and how to extract the granular structures in the graph. The granular structures can be seen as an abstract, summary or epitome of the graph. Two granular structures extraction models are proposed, one is based on the degree of the vertex, the other is based on the weight of the edge. Each model is a multilevel representation, and the models integrated together presents a multiview comprehension of the graph.
