Louvain method
= Louvain method
{c}
The <Louvain method> is a greedy multilevel <community detection> algorithm maximizing <network modularity>. It alternates positive-gain single-vertex moves with contraction of communities into weighted <vertices>. Different vertex orders can produce different local optima; a result is not a certificate of globally maximum modularity.<Fast unfolding of communities in large networks by Vincent D. Blondel and others>[§2, Method]{ref}
