RT journal article T1 Overlapping communities detection through weighted graph community games A1 Benati, Stefano A1 Puerto, Justo A1 Rodríguez Chía, Antonio Manuel A1 Temprano, Francisco A2 Estadística e Investigación Operativa K1 Algorithms K1 Heuristics K1 Programming K1 Linear AB We propose a new model to detect the overlapping communities of a network that is basedon cooperative games and mathematical programming. More specifically, communities aredefined as stable coalitions of a weighted graph community game and they are revealed asthe optimal solution of a mixed-integer linear programming problem. Exact optimal solutionsare obtained for small and medium sized instances and it is shown that they provide usefulinformation about the network structure, improving on previous contributions. Next, a heuristic algorithm is developed to solve the largest instances and used to compare two variationsof the objective function.
