Eigenvector-based community detection is a method used to identify communities or groups within a network by analyzing the eigenvectors of the network's adjacency matrix. The basic idea behind this approach is that nodes that belong to the same community will be more strongly connected to each other than to nodes in other communities.

The method starts by calculating the adjacency matrix of the network, which represents the connections between nodes. Next, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of this matrix are calculated. The eigenvectors with the largest eigenvalues are then used to assign nodes to communities.

The basic idea is that nodes that belong to the same community will have similar eigenvector values for these dominant eigenvectors. By grouping nodes with similar eigenvector values together, communities can be identified.
