Community structure is an important feature in many real-world networks, which can help us understand structure and function in complex networks better. In recent years, there have been many algorithms proposed to detect community structure in complex networks. In this paper, we try to detect potential community beams whose link strengths are greater than surrounding links and propose the minimum coupling distance (MCD) between community beams. Based on MCD, we put forward an optimization heuristic algorithm (EAMCD) for modularity density function to welded these community beams into community frames which are seen as a core part of community. Using the principle of random walk, we regard the remaining nodes into the community frame to form a community. At last, we merge several small community frame fragments using local greedy strategy for the modularity density general function. Real-world and synthetic networks are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm in detecting communities in complex networks. 相似文献

The investigation of community structures is one of the most important problems in the field of complex networks and has countless applications in different disciplines: biology, computer, social sciences, etc. Many community detection algorithms have been developed in various fields recently. The vast majority of these algorithms only find disjoint communities; however, in many real-world networks communities often overlap to some extent. In this paper, we propose an efficient method for adjusting these classical algorithms to match the requirement for discovering overlapping communities in complex networks, which is based on a local definition of community strength. The method can in principle be applied with any clustering algorithm. Tests on a set of computer generated and real-world networks give excellent results. In particular, we show that the method can also allow one to availably analyze the problem of unstable nodes in community detection, which is very helpful for understanding the structural properties of the networks correctly and comprehensively. 相似文献

Community structure is an important property of complex networks. How to detect the communities is significant for understanding the network structure and to analyze the network properties. Many algorithms, such as K-L and GN, have been proposed to detect community structures in complex networks. According to daily experience, a community should have many nodes and connections. Based on these principles and existing researches, a fast and efficient algorithm for detecting community structures in complex networks is proposed in this paper. The key strategy of the algorithm is to mine a node with the closest relations with the community and assign it to this community. Four real-world networks are used to test the performance of the algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm proposed is rather efficient for detecting community structures in complex networks. 相似文献

Detection of community structures in the weighted complex networks is significant to understand the network structures and analysis of the network properties. We present a unique algorithm to detect overlapping communities in the weighted complex networks with considerable accuracy. For a given weighted network, all the seed communities are first extracted. Then to each seed community, more community members are absorbed using the absorbing degree function. In addition, our algorithm successfully finds common nodes between communities. The experiments using some real-world networks show that the performance of our algorithm is satisfactory. 相似文献

Community structure has been found to exist ubiquitously in many different kinds of real world complex networks. Most of the previous literature ignores edge directions and applies methods designed for community finding in undirected networks to find communities. Here, we address the problem of finding communities in directed networks. Our proposed method uses PageRank random walk induced network embedding to transform a directed network into an undirected one, where the information on edge directions is effectively incorporated into the edge weights. Starting from this new undirected weighted network, previously developed methods for undirected network community finding can be used without any modification. Moreover, our method improves on recent work in terms of community definition and meaning. We provide two simulated examples, a real social network and different sets of power law benchmark networks, to illustrate how our method can correctly detect communities in directed networks. 相似文献

With the rapid development of computer technology, the research on complex networks has attracted more and more attention. At present, the research directions of cloud computing, big data, internet of vehicles, and distributed systems with very high attention are all based on complex networks. Community structure detection is a very important and meaningful research hotspot in complex networks. It is a difficult task to quickly and accurately divide the community structure and run it on large-scale networks. In this paper, we put forward a new community detection approach based on internode attraction, named IACD. This algorithm starts from the perspective of the important nodes of the complex network and refers to the gravitational relationship between two objects in physics to represent the forces between nodes in the network dataset, and then perform community detection. Through experiments on a large number of real-world datasets and synthetic networks, it is shown that the IACD algorithm can quickly and accurately divide the community structure, and it is superior to some classic algorithms and recently proposed algorithms. 相似文献

There has been a quickly growing interest in properties of complex
networks, such as the small world property, power-law degree
distribution, network transitivity, and community structure, which
seem to be common to many real world networks. In this study, we
consider the community property which is also found in many real
networks. Based on the diffusion kernels of networks, a hierarchical
clustering approach is proposed to uncover the community structure
of different extent of complex networks. We test the method on some
networks with known community structures and find that it can detect
significant community structure in these networks. Comparison with
related methods shows the effectiveness of the method. 相似文献

We introduce a thermal flux-diffusing model for complex networks. Based on this model, we propose a physical method to detect the communities in the complex networks. The method allows us to obtain the temperature distribution of nodes in time that scales linearly with the network size. Then, the local community enclosing a given node can be easily detected for the reason that the dense connections in the local communities lead to the temperatures of nodes in the same community being close to each other. The community structure of a network can be recursively detected by randomly choosing the nodes outside the detected local communities. In the experiments, we apply our method to a set of benchmarking networks with known pre-determined community structures. The experiment results show that our method has higher accuracy and precision than most existing globe methods and is better than the other existing local methods in the selection of the initial node. Finally, several real-world networks are investigated. 相似文献

Due to notable discoveries in the fast evolving field of complex networks, recent research in software engineering has also focused on representing software systems with networks. Previous work has observed that these networks follow scale-free degree distributions and reveal small-world phenomena, while we here explore another property commonly found in different complex networks, i.e. community structure. We adopt class dependency networks, where nodes represent software classes and edges represent dependencies among them, and show that these networks reveal a significant community structure, characterized by similar properties as observed in other complex networks. However, although intuitive and anticipated by different phenomena, identified communities do not exactly correspond to software packages. We empirically confirm our observations on several networks constructed from Java and various third party libraries, and propose different applications of community detection to software engineering. 相似文献

Most real-world networks from various fields share a universal topological property as community structure. In this paper, we propose a node-similarity based mechanism to explore the formation of modular networks by applying the concept of hidden metric spaces of complex networks. It is demonstrated that network community structure could be formed according to node similarity in the underlying hidden metric space. To clarify this, we generate a set of observed networks using a typical kind of hidden metric space model. By detecting and analyzing corresponding communities both in the observed network and the hidden space, we show that the values of the fitness are rather close, and the assignments of nodes for these two kinds of community structures detected based on the fitness parameter are extremely matching ones. Furthermore, our research also shows that networks with strong clustering tend to display prominent community structures with large values of network modularity and fitness. 相似文献

Synchronizability of complex oscillators networks has attracted much
research interest in recent years. In contrast, in this paper we
investigate numerically the synchronization speed, rather than the
synchronizability or synchronization stability, of identical
oscillators on complex networks with communities. A new weighted
community network model is employed here, in which the community
strength could be tunable by one parameter δ. The results
showed that the synchronization speed of identical oscillators on
community networks could reach a maximal value when δ is
around 0.1. We argue that this is induced by the competition
between the community partition and the scale-free property of the
networks. Moreover, we have given the corresponding analysis through
the second least eigenvalue λ2 of the Laplacian matrix of
the network which supports the previous result that the
synchronization speed is determined by the value of λ2. 相似文献

The detection of the community structure in networks is beneficial to understand the network structure and to analyze the network properties. Based on node similarity, a fast and efficient method for detecting community structure is proposed, which discovers the community structure by iteratively incorporating the community containing a node with the communities that contain the nodes with maximum similarity to this node to form a new community. The presented method has low computational complexity because of requiring only the local information of the network, and it does not need any prior knowledge about the communities and its detection results are robust on the selection of the initial node. Some real-world and computer-generated networks are used to evaluate the performance of the presented method. The simulation results demonstrate that this method is efficient to detect community structure in complex networks, and the ZLZ metrics used in the proposed method is the most suitable one among local indices in community detection. 相似文献

In this paper, cluster projective synchronization between community networks with nonidentical nodes is investigated. Outer synchronization between two identical or nonidentical complex networks has been extensively studied, in which all the nodes synchronized each other in a common manner. However, in real community networks, different communities in networks usually synchronize with each other in a different manner, i.e., achieving cluster projective synchronization. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, sufficient conditions for achieving cluster projective synchronization are derived through designing proper controllers. Numerical simulations are provided to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the derived theoretical results. 相似文献

Community detection is an important methodology for understanding the intrinsic structure and function of a realworld network.In this paper,we propose an effective and efficient algorithm,called Dominant Label Propagation Algorithm(Abbreviated as DLPA),to detect communities in complex networks.The algorithm simulates a special voting process to detect overlapping and non-overlapping community structure in complex networks simultaneously.Our algorithm is very efficient,since its computational complexity is almost linear to the number of edges in the network.Experimental results on both real-world and synthetic networks show that our algorithm also possesses high accuracies on detecting community structure in networks. 相似文献

In this paper, we present a new approach to extract communities in the complex networks with considerable accuracy. We introduce the core-vertex and the intimate degree between the community and its neighboring vertices. First, we find the core-vertices as the initial community. These core-vertices are then expanded using intimate degree function during extracting community structure from the given network. In addition, our algorithm successfully finds common nodes between communities. Experimental results using some real-world networks data shows that the performance of our algorithm is satisfactory. 相似文献

In this paper, we propose a well targeted algorithm (GAS algorithm) for detecting communities in high clustered networks by presenting group action technology on community division. During the processing of this algorithm, the underlying community structure of a clustered network emerges simultaneously as the corresponding partition of orbits by the permutation groups acting on the node set are achieved. As the derivation of the orbit partition, an algebraic structure r-cycle can be considered as the origin of the community. To be a priori estimation for the community structure of the algorithm, the community separability is introduced to indicate whether a network has distinct community structure. By executing the algorithm on several typical networks and the LFR benchmark, it shows that this GAS algorithm can detect communities accurately and effectively in high clustered networks. Furthermore, we compare the GAS algorithm and the clique percolation algorithm on the LFR benchmark. It is shown that the GAS algorithm is more accurate at detecting non-overlapping communities in clustered networks. It is suggested that algebraic techniques can uncover fresh light on detecting communities in complex networks. 相似文献

In this paper we systematically investigate the impact of community structure on traffic dynamics in scale-free networks based on local routing strategy. A growth model is introduced to construct scale-free networks with tunable strength of community structure, and a packet routing strategy with a parameter α is used to deal with the navigation and transportation of packets simultaneously. Simulations show that the maximal network capacity stands at α=−1 in the case of identical vertex capacity and monotonously decreases with the strength of community structure which suggests that the networks with fuzzy community structure (i.e., community strength is weak) are more efficient in delivering packets than those with pronounced community structure. To explain these results, the distribution of packets of each vertex is carefully studied. Our results indicate that the moderate strength of community structure is more convenient for the information transfer of real complex systems. 相似文献

Identification of communities is significant in understanding the structures and functions of networks. Since some nodes naturally belong to several communities, the study of overlapping communities has attracted increasing attention recently, and many algorithms have been designed to detect overlapping communities. In this paper, an overlapping communities detecting algorithm is proposed whose main strategies are finding an initial partial community from a node with maximal node strength and adding tight nodes to expand the partial community. Seven real-world complex networks and one synthetic network are used to evaluate the algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm proposed is efficient for detecting overlapping communities in weighted networks. 相似文献
