In July 2012, at the Conference on Applications of Graph Spectra in Computer Science, Barcelona, D. Stevanovic posed the following open problem: which graphs have the zero as the largest eigenvalue of their modularity matrix? The conjecture was that only the complete and complete multipartite graphs. They indeed have this property, but are they the only ones? In this paper, we will give an affirmative answer to this question and prove a bit more: both the modularity and the normalized… Expand

Informally, a community within a graph is a subgraph whose vertices are more connected to one another than to the vertices outside the community. One of the most popular community detection methodsExpand
Modularity of tree-like and random regular graphs

All graphs whose product of treewidth and maximum degree is much less than the number of edges are extended to give thresholds for the statistical significance of clustering found in large regular networks, showing for example that random planar graphs typically have modularity close to 1. Expand

Clustering algorithms for large networks typically use modularity values to test which partitions of the vertex set better represent structure in the data. The modularity of a graph is the maximumExpand

This work sees that for random cubic graphs the modularity is usually in the interval $(0.666, 0.804)$, and for random $r-regular graphs with large$r$it usually is of order$1/\sqrt{r}\$. Expand
