The function Γ on the space of graphons, introduced in Chuangpishit et al.(2015), aims to measure the extent to which a graphon w exhibits the Robinson property: for all x< y< z, w (x, z)≤ min {w (x, y), w (y, z)}. Robinson graphons form a model for graphs with a natural line embedding so that most edges are local. The function Γ is compatible with the cut-norm‖⋅‖□, in the sense that graphons close in cut-norm have similar Γ-values. In particular, any graphon close in cut-norm to the set of all Robinson graphons has small Γ-values. Here we show the converse, by proving that every graphon w can be approximated by a Robinson graphon R w so that‖ w− R w‖□ is bounded in terms of Γ (w). We then use classical techniques from functional analysis to show that a converging graph sequence {G n} converges to a Robinson graphon if and only if Γ (G n)→ 0. Finally, using probabilistic techniques we show that the rate of convergence of Γ for graph sequences sampled from a Robinson graphon can differ substantially depending on how strongly w exhibits the Robinson property.
