Zusammenfassung	Weighted Network Diffusion Analysis models how information, influence, disease, or resources spread through a network whose edges carry quantitative strength values. By letting tie weights govern transition probabilities, the method produces more realistic spreading dynamics than binary-edge diffusion, revealing which high-traffic pathways dominate propagation in social, biological, and information networks.	Weighted community detection identifies densely connected groups — communities — in networks where edges carry numeric strengths (weights). By incorporating edge weights into the modularity function, it reveals structure that binary adjacency alone would miss: two nodes connected by a strong tie are treated as more similar than two nodes linked by a weak one. The Louvain algorithm is the dominant practical implementation.
