摘要

Temporal graphs model the dynamic evolution of nodes and edges and are widely used in domains such as social networks and academic collaboration. The (kh)-core is a temporal subgraph model where each node connects to at least k others, and each node pair shares at least h temporal edges, reflecting interaction strength. Existing studies focus on (kh)-core decomposition and maintenance but lack efficient query solutions. To fill this gap, we propose two baselines: an online method and a Full Index method. The online method avoids index construction but offers low query efficiency; the Full Index supports fast queries but incurs high storage cost. To balance efficiency and index size, we design a Tree Index based on node set partitioning and an enhanced Permutation Tree Index. Both significantly reduce storage overhead while supporting fast queries. Experiments on real-world datasets show that our indexes are more compact than the Full Index and consistently deliver better query performance than both baselines.
