Although the modular structure of real graphs has been intensively studied, very little is known on the interactions be- tween functional modules of a graph. Here we present a general method based on synchronization of networking oscillators, that is able to detect overlapping structures in multi-modular environments. We furthermore report the full analytical and theoretical description on the relationship between the overlapping dynamics and the underlying network topology. The method is illustrated by means of a series of applications.engAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/complex networksmodularitycommunityoverlappingThe dynamics of overlapping structures in modular networksinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article10.1103/PhysRevE.82.016115info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess3304.06 Arquitectura de Ordenadores
