The Laplacian Spectrum of Large Graphs Sampled from Graphons
Résumé
This paper studies the Laplacian spectrum and the average effective resistance of (large) graphs that are sampled from graphons. Broadly speaking, our main finding is that the Laplacian eigenvalues of a large dense graph can be effectively approximated by using the degree function of the corresponding graphon. More specifically, we show how to approximate the distribution of the Laplacian eigenvalues and the average effective resistance (Kirchhoff index) of the graph. For all cases, we provide explicit bounds on the approximation errors and derive the asymptotic rates at which the errors go to zero when the number of nodes goes to infinity. Our main results are proved under the conditions that the graphon is piecewise Lipschitz and bounded away from zero.
