We focus our attention on unweighted and undirected networks here. A complex network is represented by G(V‚E) where V is the vertex set and E is the edge set. Each node v(v∈V) has a label C(v) and N(v) is the set of neighbors of node . The label propagation algorithm (LPA) first initializes every node with a unique label. Then at every step each node updates its current label to the label shared by the maximum number of its neighbors. The formula is as follows [14]: C(v)=arg〖■(max@l)|N^l (v)|〗
