[0, 1]. This limit object determines all the limits of subgraph densities. Conversely, every such function arises as a limit object. We also characterize graph parameters that are obtained as limits of subgraph densities by the "reflection positivity" property. Along the way we introduce a rather general model of random graphs, which seems to be interesting on its own right. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. LA - English DB - MTMT ER -
