In this paper, we use a partition of the links of a network in order to uncover its community structure. This approach allows for communities to overlap at nodes, so that nodes may be in more than one community. We do this by making a node…

In this paper, we consider the problem of approximately aligning/matching two graphs. Given two graphs $G_{1}=(V_{1},E_{1})$ and $G_{2}=(V_{2},E_{2})$, the objective is to map nodes $u, v \in G_1$ to nodes $u',v'\in G_2$ such that when $u,…
