The Ricci curvature on directed graphs

arXiv:1602.07779

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the Ricci curvature of a directed graph, based on Lin-Lu-Yau's definition. We give some properties of the Ricci curvature, including conditions for a directed regular graph to be Ricci-flat. Moreover, we calculate the Ricci curvature of the cartesian product of directed graphs.
