An extremal theorem for positive curvature of graphs

Kaizhe Chen, Shiping Liu, Zhe You

We prove an extremal theorem for positive Ollivier/Lin--Lu--Yau curvature: every graph of order \(n\geq 8\) with more than \[ T(n)=\frac{n^2-3n}{2}-\left\lceil\frac{n}{2}\right\rce…

Criteria on forbidden subgraphs in the complements for positive Lin--Lu--Yau curvature

Kaizhe Chen, Shiping Liu, Zhe You

We investigate forbidden subgraph conditions in the complement of a graph that guarantee positive Lin--Lu--Yau curvature. In particular, we prove that every graph whose complement…

Books versus Triangles near the n/6 Threshold

Kaizhe Chen, Jie Ma, Tianhen Wang

The book number of a graph is the maximum number of triangles sharing a common edge. A strengthening of Mantel's theorem due to Rademacher states that every -vertex g…

On Lichnerowicz sharp distance-regular graphs

Kaizhe Chen, Shiping Liu, Heng Zhang

The first non-zero Laplacian eigenvalue of a finite graph is bounded below by its minimum Lin--Lu--Yau curvature . This is a discrete analogue of the classical Lichnerowic…

Edge-connectivity of graphs with non-negative Bakry-Émery curvature and amply regular graphs

Kaizhe Chen, Jack H. Koolen, Shiping Liu

We establish a sharp edge-connectivity estimate for graphs with non-negative Bakry-Émery curvature. This leads to a geometric criterion for the existence of a perfect matching. Pre…

Halin graphs with positive Lin-Lu-Yau curvature

Kaizhe Chen, Huiqiu Lin, Shiping Liu +1

Halin graphs constitute an interesting class of planar and polyhedral graphs. A generalized Halin graph is obtained by connecting all leaves of a planar embedding of a tree via a c…
