Most networks found in social and biochemical systems have modular structures. An important question prompted by the modularity of these networks is whether nodes can be said to belong to a single group. If they cannot, we would need to…

The conventional notion of community that favors a high ratio of internal edges to outbound edges becomes invalid when each vertex participates in multiple communities. Such a behavior is commonplace in social networks. The significant…
