This paper aims at studying the sample complexity of graph convolutional networks (GCNs), by providing tight upper bounds of Rademacher complexity for GCN models with a single hidden layer. Under regularity conditions, theses derived complexity bounds explicitly depend on the largest eigenvalue of graph convolution filter and the degree distribution of the graph. Again, we provide a lower bound of Rademacher complexity for GCNs to show optimality of our derived upper bounds. Taking two commonly used examples as representatives, we discuss the implications of our results in designing graph convolution filters an graph distribution.
