Graphons are limit objects for convergent sequences of dense graphs. We introduce the representation of a graphon on a unique metric space and we relate the dimension of this metric space to the size of regularity partitions. We prove that if a graphon has an excluded induced sub-bigraph then the underlying metric space is compact and has finite packing dimension. It implies in particular that such graphons have regularity partitions of polynomial size.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-02-23T17:38:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C99", "60B05" ], "keywords": [ "regularity partitions", "graph limit theory", "unique metric space", "finite packing dimension", "limit objects" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1002.4377L" } } }
