Most multimodal optimization algorithms use the so called \textit{niching methods}~\cite{mahfoud1995niching} in order to promote diversity during optimization, while others, like \textit{Artificial Immune Systems}~\cite{de2010conceptual} try to find multiple solutions as its main objective.

Most community detection algorithms from the literature work as optimization tools that minimize a given \textit{fitness function}, while assuming that each node belongs to a single community.

In order to speed up the computation, a random permutation can be approximated by using an universal hash function such as the $h_{a, b}$ function proposed by Carter and Wegman.
