Graph limits theory

Graph limits theory studies the behavior of large graphs by examining their properties as they grow. It seeks to understand how these properties converge to specific limits, akin to how sequences approach a certain value. Researchers explore the idea that graphs, when observed at increasing sizes, exhibit patterns and structures that can be analyzed mathematically. This theory aids in classifying graphs and comparing their similarities, ultimately providing insights into complex networks, such as social connections or biological systems, by identifying universal properties that remain consistent despite changes in size or structure.
