Many real world complex networks have an a overlapping community structure, in which a vertex belongs to one or more communities. Numerous approaches for crisp overlapping community detection were proposed in the literature, most of them have a good accuracy but their computational costs are considerably high and infeasible for large-scale networks. Since the multilevel approach has not been previously applied to deal with overlapping communities detection problem, in this paper we propose an adaptation of this approach to tackle the detection problem to overlapping communities case. The goal is to analyze the time impact and the quality of solution of our multilevel strategy regarding to traditional algorithms. Our experiments show that our proposal consistently produces good performance compared to single-level algorithms and in less time.

One of the most useful measures of cluster quality is the modularity of the partition, which measures the difference between the number of the edges joining vertices from the same cluster and the expected number of such edges in a random graph. In this paper, we show that the problem of finding a partition maximizing the modularity of a given graph G can be reduced to a minimum weighted cut (MWC) problem on a complete graph with the same vertices as G. We then show that the resulting minimum cut problem can be efficiently solved by adapting existing graph partitioning techniques. Our algorithm finds clusterings of a comparable quality and is much faster than the existing clustering algorithms.

We combine the adaptive and multilevel approaches to the BDDC and formulate a method which allows an adaptive selection of constraints on each decomposition level. We also present a strategy for the solution of local eigenvalue problems in the adaptive algorithm using the LOBPCG method with a preconditioner based on standard components of the BDDC. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated on several engineering problems. It appears that the Adaptive-multilevel BDDC algorithm is able to effectively detect troublesome parts on each decomposition level and improve convergence of the method. The developed open-source parallel implementation shows a good scalability as well as applicability to very large problems and core counts.

We describe the University of Florida Sparse Matrix Collection, a large and actively growing set of sparse matrices that arise in real applications. The Collection is widely used by the numerical linear algebra community for the development and performance evaluation of sparse matrix algorithms. It allows for robust and repeatable experiments: robust because performance results with artificially generated matrices can be misleading, and repeatable because matrices are curated and made publicly available in many formats. Its matrices cover a wide spectrum of domains, include those arising from problems with underlying 2D or 3D geometry (as structural engineering, computational fluid dynamics, model reduction, electromagnetics, semiconductor devices, thermodynamics, materials, acoustics, computer graphics/vision, robotics/kinematics, and other discretizations) and those that typically do not have such geometry (optimization, circuit simulation, economic and financial modeling, theoretical and quantum chemistry, chemical process simulation, mathematics and statistics, power networks, and other networks and graphs). We provide software for accessing and managing the Collection, from MATLAB(TM), Mathematica(TM), Fortran, and C, as well as an online search capability. Graph visualization of the matrices is provided, and a new multilevel coarsening scheme is proposed to facilitate this task.

We present Glimmer, a new multilevel algorithm for multidimensional scaling designed to exploit modern graphics processing unit (GPU) hardware. We also present GPU-SF, a parallel force-based subsystem used by Glimmer. Glimmer organizes input into a hierarchy of levels and recursively applies GPU-SF to combine and refine the levels. The multilevel nature of the algorithm makes local minima less likely, while the GPU parallelism improves the speed of computation. We propose a robust termination condition for GPU-SF based on a filtered approximation of the normalized stress function. We demonstrate the benefits of Glimmer in terms of speed, normalized stress, and visual quality against several previous algorithms for a range of synthetic and real benchmark data sets. We also show that the performance of Glimmer on GPUs is substantially faster than a CPU implementation of the same algorithm.

The essential numerical features of multilevel strategies developed for parametric shape optimization are reviewed. These methods employ nested parameterization supports of either shape, or shape deformation, and the classical process of degree elevation resulting in exact geometrical data transfer from coarse to fine representations. The algorithms mimick classical multigrid strategies and are found very effective in terms of convergence acceleration. In particular, for a drag reduction problem involving a three-dimensional Eulerian transonic flow simulated by an unstructured-grid finite-volume method, the complete algorithm is found to be noticeably superior to the natural algorithm simply based on progressive degree elevation.

Design and implementation issues that concern the development of a package of parallel algebraic two-level Schwarz preconditioners are discussed. The computations are based on the Parallel Sparse BLAS (PSBLAS) library. The package implements various versions of Additive Schwarz preconditioners and applies a smoothed aggregation technique to generate a coarse-level correction. The coarse matrix can be either replicated on the processors or distributed among them;the corresponding system is solved by factorization or block Jacobi sweeps, respectively. The design of the package started from a description of the preconditioners in terms of parallel basic Linear Algebra operators, in order to develop software based on standard kernels. Suitable preconditioner data structures were defined to fully exploit the existing PSBLAS functionalities;however, the implementation of the preconditioner required also an extension of the set of basic library kernels. The results of experiments carried out on different test matrices show that the package is competitive in terms of runtime efficiency. (c) 2007 IMACS. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Multiscale radiative heat transfer (RHT) problems are formulated and methods to approximate their numerical solutions are developed. We focus on RHT problems in participating media with heterogeneous optical properties leading to both optically thick and thin regimes within the same media spectrum. By introducing a diffusive scale and using an asymptotic expansion in the RHT equations we formulate the simplified P-N approximations. The optical spectrum is decomposed in wavelength bands and the RHT equations are solved for bands with low absorption while the simplified P-N equations are solved for bands with high absorption. The hybrid models solve the multiscale RHT more accurately than the simplified PN approximations and with a computational costs less than using the full RHT solver. Accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed models are demonstrated on three-dimensional RHT problems arising in combustion systems.

The efficient and reliable solution of partial differential equations(PDEs) plays an essential role in a very large number of applications in business,engineering and science, ranging from the modelling of financial markets through to the prediction of complex fluid *** paper presents a discussion of alternative approaches to the fast solution of elliptic and parabolic PDEs based upon the use of parallel, adaptive and multilevel *** adaptivity is essential to ensure that the solution is approximated to different local resolutions across the domain according to its local properties,whilst the multilevel algorithms ensure that the computational time to solve the resulting finite element equations is proportional to the number of unknowns. Applying these techniques efficiently on parallel computer architectures leads to significant practical problems. Difficulties addressed in this paper include how to handle the coarse grid operations efficiently in parallel and the dynamic load-balancing problem that arises when the finite element mesh is adapted.
