Hi everyone,

I'm trying to understand the algorithm which have been implemented in a
function called community_walktrap() of igraph, based on the idea of
http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0512106

I tried to recode the algorithm in python with the help of igraph and
numpy. But I think there's something wrong with my understanding or code.
The conclusion of my program often have much more communities than the
function in igraph with the same network. It seems my program stopped
earlier than expected.

Here is the main step of my pseudocode:

1)Import the graph and compute the transfer matrix.
2)compute the similarity of each pair of nodes and we can continue compute
the delta matrix based on the Ward's method which can help us choose the
pair of communities to be merged
3)choose the minimum in the delta matrix. Merge the two communities and
update delta matrix.
4)continue the 3rd step until the increased ratio deltamin(k)/deltamin(k-1)
begin to reduce

I don't know if I'm understanding right.
Thank you.

Regards,
Strong
