Local Triangle Count

Count triangles per node

For each node, counts how many triangles it participates in.

What It Computes

Triangle count for each node individually.

When to Use It

  • Node-level cohesion: Which nodes are in tight clusters?
  • Influence: High triangle count = embedded in community
  • Anomaly detection: Zero triangles = isolated/suspicious

Example

Use Cases

Find Core Members

Nodes with high triangle counts are community cores

Detect Fake Accounts

Zero triangles = no mutual friends = suspicious
