Approximating clustering coefficient and transitivity.
We prove asymptotic equipartition properties for simple hierarchical structures (modelled as multitype Galton-Watson trees) and networked structures (modelled as randomly coloured random graphs). For example, for large n, a networked data structure consisting of n units connected by an average number of links of order n / log n can be coded by about H × n bits, where H is an explicitly defined entropy. The main technique in our proofs are large deviation principles for suitably defined empirical...

Motivated by the Watts-Strogatz model for a complex network, we introduce a generalization of the Erdős-Rényi random graph. We derive a combinatorial formula for the moment sequence of its spectral distribution in the sparse limit.
