4.2. Properties

This part shows some general properties of the new formulation and theoretically demonstrates the inherent connection between structural entropy and graph clustering. We first give an arithmetic property regarding Definition 4.3 to support the following claim on graph clustering. The proofs of the lemma/theorems are detailed in Appendix A.
