TLDR
A modularity matrix plays a role in community detection similar to that played by the graph Laplacian in graph partitioning calculations, and a spectral measure of bipartite structure in networks and a centrality measure that identifies vertices that occupy central positions within the communities to which they belong are proposed.Abstract:
We consider the problem of detecting communities or modules in networks, groups of vertices with a higher-than-average density of edges connecting them. Previous work indicates that a robust approach to this problem is the maximization of the benefit function known as ``modularity'' over possible divisions of a network. Here we show that this maximization process can be written in terms of the eigenspectrum of a matrix we call the modularity matrix, which plays a role in community detection similar to that played by the graph Laplacian in graph partitioning calculations. This result leads us to a number of possible algorithms for detecting community structure, as well as several other results, including a spectral measure of bipartite structure in networks and a centrality measure that identifies vertices that occupy central positions within the communities to which they belong. The algorithms and measures proposed are illustrated with applications to a variety of real-world complex networks.read more

Fast Fragmentation of Networks Using Module-Based Attacks.
Bruno Requião da Cunha,Bruno Requião da Cunha,Juan Carlos González-Avella,Juan Carlos González-Avella,Sebastián Gonçalves +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a module-based method to efficiently fragment complex networks is presented. But the method is limited to the case of betweenness centrality centrality rankings and it is not suitable for the case where the node degree is not a factor.

Network analysis reveals strong seasonality in the dispersal of a marine parasite and identifies areas for coordinated management
TL;DR: Seasonal variations in lice development times, oceanographic processes and the topological arrangement of salmon farms affect lice dispersal patterns, and a biologically meaningful and politically tractable alliance structure for sea lice management consisting of closely-associated clusters of farms is identified.

Inferring lockstep behavior from connectivity pattern in large graphs
TL;DR: This paper studies a complete graph from a large Twitter-style social network, spanning up to 3.33 billion edges, and provides a fast algorithm, using the discovery as a guide for practitioners, to detect users who offer the lockstep behaviors in undirected/directed/bipartite graphs.

TL;DR: Results of the analysis show the emergence of a well-defined community structure inside Facebook, that is characterised by a power law distribution in the size of the communities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a scalable algorithm to detect pairs of core and periphery in networks, controlling for the effect of the node's degree, and illustrate their algorithm using various empirical networks.

Collective dynamics of small-world networks
TL;DR: Simple models of networks that can be tuned through this middle ground: regular networks ‘rewired’ to introduce increasing amounts of disorder are explored, finding that these systems can be highly clustered, like regular lattices, yet have small characteristic path lengths, like random graphs.

The Strength of Weak Ties
TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that the degree of overlap of two individuals' friendship networks varies directly with the strength of their tie to one another, and the impact of this principle on diffusion of influence and information, mobility opportunity, and community organization is explored.

Emergence of Scaling in Random Networks
TL;DR: A model based on these two ingredients reproduces the observed stationary scale-free distributions, which indicates that the development of large networks is governed by robust self-organizing phenomena that go beyond the particulars of the individual systems.
