contents Examining the community structures within intricate networks is crucial for comprehending their intrinsic dynamics and functionality. The paper presents the Fast Local Move Iterated Greedy (FLMIG) algorithm, a novel method designed to effectively identify community structures in intricate networks. The FLMIG algorithm improves the modularity optimization process by including a rapid local move heuristic and an iterated greedy mechanism that switches between destructive and constructive phases to strengthen the community partitions. The main innovation is the integration of random neighbor moves with an enhanced Prune Louvain algorithm, which guarantees fast convergence while maintaining the connection of the identified communities. The results of our comprehensive studies, conducted on both synthetic and and real-world networks, clearly show that FLMIG surpasses existing cutting-edge techniques in terms of both accuracy and computing efficiency. This algorithm not only provides a strong tool for identifying communities, but also makes a valuable contribution to the broader field of network analysis by offering a method that can effectively handle large-scale and dynamically evolving networks.
