Evolving edge weights via local entropy flow and cohesion flow on graphs

Juan Zhao, Jicheng Ma, Yunyan Yang +1

In this paper, we first propose two different quantities on graphs, namely local entropy and cohesion, then design two corresponding flows for edge weights: the local entropy flow…

Core detection via Ricci curvature flows on weighted graphs

Juan Zhao, Jicheng Ma, Yunyan Yang +1

Graph Ricci curvature is crucial as it geometrically quantifies network structure. It pinpoints bottlenecks via negative curvature, identifies cohesive communities with positive cu…

Lin-Lu-Yau Ricci curvature on hypergraphs

Yulu Tian, Liang Zhao

In this paper, we introduce a unified framework for defining Lin-Lu-Yau (LLY) Ricci curvature on both undirected and directed hypergraphs. By establishing upper bounds and monotoni…

Community detection of hypergraphs by Ricci flow

Yulu Tian, Jicheng Ma, Yunyan Yang +1

Community detection in hypergraphs is both instrumental for functional module identification and intricate due to higher-order interactions among nodes. We define a hypergraph Ricc…
