Algorithms’ Table

The following table shows an up-to-date list of the Community Detection algorithms made available within cdlib.

Algorithms are listed in alphabetical order along with:

  • a few additional information on the graph typologies they handle, and

  • the main expected characteristics of the clustering they produce,

  • (when available) the theoretical computational complexity estimated by their authors.

Apart from a few reported exceptions, all algorithms are assumed to work on undirected and unweighted graphs.

Complexity notation. When discussing the time complexity, the following notation is assumed:

  • n: number of nodes

  • m: number of edges

  • k: number of iterations

  • c: number of communities

  • d: average node degree
