Communities are not static; they evolve, split and merge, appear and disappear, i.e. they are product of dynamical processes that govern the evolution of the network. A good algorithm for community detection should not only quantify the…

In this paper we apply theoretical and practical results from facility location theory to the problem of community detection in networks. The result is an algorithm that computes bounds on a minimization variant of local modularity. We also…

In network analysis, within-community members are more likely to be connected than between-community members, which is reflected in that the edges within a community are intercorrelated. However, existing probabilistic models for community…
