Abstract

Information theory traditionally deals with "conventional data," be it textual data, image, or video data. However, databases of various sorts have come into existence in recent years for storing "unconventional data" including biological data, social data, web data, topographical maps, and medical data. In compressing such data, one must consider two types of information: the information conveyed by the structure itself, and the information conveyed by the data labels implanted in the structure. In this paper, we attempt to address the former problem by studying information of graphical structures (i.e., unlabeled graphs). As the first step, we consider the Erdýos-Renyi graphs G(n, p) over n vertices in which edges are added randomly with probability p. We prove that the structural entropy of G(n, p) is � n
