We study a modified notion of Ollivier's coarse Ricci curvature on graphs introduced by Lin, Lu, and Yau in [11]. We establish a rigidity theorem for complete graphs that shows a connected finite simple graph is complete if and only if the Ricci curvature is strictly greater than one. We then derive explicit Ricci curvature formulas for strongly regular graphs in terms of the graph parameters and the size of a maximal matching in the core neighborhood. As a consequence we are able to derive…

It is proved that all distance-regular graphs of girth $4$ attain their maximal possible curvature values and that in the case of strong products, non-negativity of Ollivier Ricci curvature is only preserved for horizontal and vertical edges.

By Hall’s marriage theorem, we study lower bounds of the Lin-Lu-Yau curvature of amply regular graphs with girth 3 or 4 under different parameter restrictions. As a consequence, we show that each

A graph is called Ricci-flat if its Ricci-curvatures vanish on all edges. Here we use the definition of Ricci-cruvature on graphs given in [Lin-Lu-Yau, Tohoku Math., 2011], which is a variation of

This paper employs a definition of generalized Ricci curvature proposed by Ollivier in a general framework of Markov processes and metric spaces and applied in graph theory by Lin–Yau to derive lower RicCI curvature bounds on graphs in terms of such local clustering coefficients.
