Abstract:
Many complex systems can be modeled using very large graphs. These graphs exhibit qualities of robustness, randomness, dynamics, and distinctiveness when compared to others, yet they share certain crucial common properties. To analyze the behavior of complex systems, researchers aim to comprehend the fundamental characteristics of these extensive graphs and generate them randomly in a way that mirrors real complex systems. Additionally, complex systems research addresses essential issues, such as the partitioning of a population into communities where each community displays common behavior and shared interests. In this presentation, we will explore the modeling of large graphs and discuss algorithms for the problem of community detection.
