We study the structure of loops in networks using the notion of modulus of loop families. We introduce a new measure of network clustering by quantifying the richness of families of (simple) loops. Modulus tries to minimize the expected…

A generalization of modularity, called block modularity, is defined. This is a quality function which evaluates a label assignment against an arbitrary block pattern. Therefore, unlike standard modularity or its variants, arbitrary network…

Starting from a general \textit{ansatz}, we show how community detection can be interpreted as finding the ground state of an infinite range spin glass. Our approach applies to weighted and directed networks alike. It contains the…

Real-data networks often appear to have strong modularity, or network-of-networks structure, in which subgraphs of various size and consistency occur. Finding the respective subgraph structure is of great importance, in particular for…

Community structure is largely regarded as an intrinsic property of complex real-world networks. However, recent studies reveal that networks comprise even more sophisticated modules than classical cohesive communities. More precisely,…

The complexity of interactions between networks and territories has been widely acknowledged empirically, in particular through the existence of circular causal relations in their co-development, that can be understood as a co-evolution.…

Modularity is a very widely used measure of the level of clustering or community structure in networks. Here we consider a recent generalisation of the definition of modularity to temporal graphs, whose edge-sets change over discrete…

Graphs representing real world systems may be studied from their underlying community structure. A community in a network is an intuitive idea for which there is no consensus on its objective mathematical definition. The most used metric in…

Community detection in networks is the process of identifying unusually well-connected sub-networks and is a central component of many applied network analyses. The paradigm of modularity optimization stipulates a partition of the network's…

Networks are a convenient way to represent complex systems of interacting entities. Many networks contain "communities" of nodes that are more densely connected to each other than to nodes in the rest of the network. In this paper, we…
