To accomplish the task we suggest to examine carefully properties of adjacency matrix eigenvectors: their weak localization as well as the sign of their values. The algorithm has only one parameter — the number of mutual neighbors. We compare our method to several clustering solutions using different types of datasets. The experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms in most cases many other clustering algorithms. %G English %Z TC 8 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01405553/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01405553/file/978-3-662-45237-0_6_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01405553 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01405553 %~ SHS %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC8 %~ IFIP-LNCS-8838 %~ IFIP-CISIM
