Detecting Multi-Scale Community Structure in Complex Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

Multiple-scale community of complex networks has attracted much attention. For the problem, previous methods can not investigate multiple-scale property of community. To address this, we propose a novel algorithm (h_LPA) to detect multiple-scale structure of community. The algorithm is a heuristic label propagation algorithm associated with spectral analysis of complex networks. Label updating strategy of h_LPA is combined with heuristic function from the perspective of networks dynamics. The heuristic function further improves the dynamic efficiency of h_LPA. Extensive tests on artificial networks and real world networks give excellent results.
