Abstract: Box-counting algorithm is an important approach to inspect the fractal property of complex networks. However, it neglects the weight of edges. To address this problem, a novel two-step box-counting algorithm is proposed, which is a clustering method. The proposed algorithm is applied to Fractal Cluster for Uncovering Community (FCUC). In FCUC, the nodes are clustered by two-step covering-box algorithm, and the fractal tree progress is mapped to a tree structure. Community structure can be uncovered through cutting the fractal tree according to evaluation function. Extensive tests on artificial networks and real networks give excellent results.

Key words: computer application, community of complex networks, fractal cluster, box-covering algorithm, fractal tree
