Explicit Bounds on the Entropy of Piecewise H\"{o}lder Graphon Models

The paper investigates the entropy of random graphs produced by piecewise Hölder continuous graphons. It establishes a convergence rate for the normalized entropy as graph size increases and outlines the main proof ideas, with full details in the appendix. Using this result, the authors derive explicit quantitative entropy bounds for both the stochastic block model and the random geometric graph model, moving beyond previous asymptotic statements.

Optimal Time Complexity Algorithms for Computing General Random Walk Graph Kernels on Sparse Graphs

The paper introduces linear‑time randomized algorithms for unbiased approximation of general random walk kernels (RWKs) on sparse graphs, covering both labelled and unlabelled cases. By sampling dependent random walks and constructing novel graph embeddings in ρ^d, the method avoids building the direct product graph, enabling scaling to massive datasets that cannot fit on a single machine. The authors provide exponential concentration bounds for the estimator’s sharpness and demonstrate up to 27× speed‑ups and 128× larger graph handling compared to previous cubic‑time approaches.
