Constrained Community Detection in Multiplex Networks

Constrained community detection is a kind of community detection taking given constraints into account to improve the accuracy of community detection. Optimizing constrained Hamiltonian is one of the methods for constrained community detection. Constrained Hamiltonian consists of Hamiltonian which is generalized modularity and constrained term which takes given constraints into account. Nakata proposed a method for constrained community detection in monoplex networks based on the optimization of constrained Hamiltonian by extended Louvain method.
