Moreover, we show that such pseudo-metric is a metric on the subspace of adjacency or Laplacian matrices for graphs. Hence, in particular, we obtain a metric for isomorphism classes of graphs. Additionally, we study how some properties of graphs translate in this measure representation, and we show how our analysis contributes to a simpler understanding of action convergence of graphops.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-08-15T15:02:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "measure-theoretic representation", "action convergence", "graph limit theory", "analysis contributes", "pseudo-metric" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
