Many times the nodes of a complex network, whether deliberately or not, are aggregated for technical, ethical, legal limitations or privacy reasons. A common example is the geographic position: one may uncover communities in a network of…

In this paper, we investigate community detection in networks in the presence of node covariates. In many instances, covariates and networks individually only give a partial view of the cluster structure. One needs to jointly infer the full…

The "clumpiness" matrix of a network is used to develop a method to identify its community structure. A "projection space" is constructed from the eigenvectors of the clumpiness matrix and a border line is defined using some kind of angular…

In this paper, we propose some new notions to characterize and analyze the communities. The new notions are general characters of the communities or local structures of networks. At first, we introduce the notions of internal dominating set…

We develop a network in which the natural numbers are the vertices. We use the decomposition of natural numbers by prime numbers to establish the connections. We perform data collapse and show that the degree distribution of these networks…
