Cut norm discontinuity of triangular truncation of graphons

Abstract: The space of

L^{p}

graphons, symmetric measurable functions

w : [0, 1]^{2} o m a t h b b R

with finite

p

-norm, features heavily in the study of sparse graph limit theory. We show that the triangular cut operator

M_{c h i}

acting on this space is not continuous with respect to the cut norm. This is achieved by showing that as

n o i n f t y

, the norm of the triangular truncation operator

m a t h c a l T_{n}

on symmetric matrices equipped with the cut norm grows to infinity as well. Due to the density of symmetric matrices in the space of

L^{p}

graphons, the norm growth of

m a t h c a l T_{n}

generalizes to the unboundedness of

M_{c h i}

. We also show that the norm of

m a t h c a l T_{n}

grows to infinity on symmetric matrices equipped with the operator norm.
