An Agent-Based Algorithm for Detecting Community Structure in Networks

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2017-02-21 v4

Abstract

We present a simple stochastic agent-based community finding algorithm. Our algorithm is tested on network data from the Zachary karate club study, data from Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables", and data obtained from a musical piece by J.S. Bach. In all three cases, the algorithm partitions the vertices of the graph sensibly.
