Abstract

We investigate the relative computability of exchangeable binary relational data when presented in terms of the distribution of an invariant measure on graphs, or as a graphon in either L1L^1 or the cut distance. We establish basic computable equivalences, and show that L1L^1 representations contain fundamentally more computable information than the other representations, but that 00' suffices to move between computable such representations. We show that 00' is necessary in general, but that in the case of random-free graphons, no oracle is necessary. We also provide an example of an L1L^1-computable random-free graphon that is not weakly isomorphic to any graphon with an a.e. continuous version.
