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

TL;DR: It is highlighted that both food web connectance and size on the mainland increase species diversity on islands, and that more heavily tailed degree distributions in the mainland food web correlate with less frequent but potentially more important extinction cascades on islands.

A novel complex network community detection approach using discrete particle swarm optimization with particle diversity and mutation
TL;DR: This paper redefined particle coding, particle velocity, particle position and evolutionary operation in discretization, which effectively solve the problem of traditional evolutionary algorithm in need of prior knowledge.

Comparing the writing style of real and artificial papers.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors devise a methodology to distinguish real manuscripts from those generated with SCIGen, an automatic paper generator, by modeling texts as complex networks (CN), which is possible to discriminate real from fake papers with at least 89% of accuracy.

On community structure in complex networks: challenges and opportunities
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss modularity and the use of modularity maximization as the basis for community detection, and introduce deterministic strategies that have proven to be very efficient in controlling the epidemic outbreaks, but require complete knowledge of the network.

Hiding Individuals and Communities in a Social Network
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study how an individual can evade "network centrality" analysis without compromising his or her influence within the network and demonstrate that even a simple heuristic, whereby attention is restricted to the individual's immediate neighbourhood, can be surprisingly effective in practice.

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.
