A condition for non-negative Lin-Lu-Yau curvature

Abstract

We investigate the Ollivier-Ricci curvature and its modification introduced by Lin, Lu, and Yau on locally finite graphs. The main contribution of this work is a lower bound on the minimum vertex degree of a graph ensuring non-negative Lin-Lu-Yau curvature. Additionally, we examine the sharpness of this lower bound.
