The entropy of random-free graphons and properties

Combinatorics 2012-05-17 v1

Abstract

Every graphon defines a random graph on any given number nn of vertices. It was known that the graphon is random-free if and only if the entropy of this random graph is subquadratic. We prove that for random-free graphons, this entropy can grow as fast as any subquadratic function. However, if the graphon belongs to the closure of a random-free graph property, then the entropy is O(nlogn)O(n \log n). We also give a simple construction of a non-stepfunction random-free graphon for which this entropy is linear, refuting a conjecture of Janson.
