Given $n$ points in $\ell_p^d$, we consider the problem of partitioning points into $k$ clusters with associated centers. The cost of a clustering is the sum of $p^{\text{th}}$ powers of distances of points to their cluster centers. For $p…

Common experience suggests that many networks might possess community structure - division of vertices into groups, with a higher density of edges within groups than between them. Here we describe a new computer algorithm that detects…
