A discrete Ricci flow on graphs converges exponentially to prescribed Lin-Lu-Yau curvatures iff attainable, with an explicit max-edge-density condition for constant curvature on girth-at-least-6 graphs.
Existence, uniqueness, and convergence of the Ollivier Ricci flow with prescribed curvature are established on infinite graphs with girth at least 6.
The Calabi flow on finite graphs converges globally if and only if a weight function exists realizing the prescribed curvature, with convergence for constant curvature under topological conditions.
Introduces local entropy flow and cohesion flow on graphs, proves global existence and uniqueness of solutions, studies asymptotics, and applies the flows to community detection and node classification with competitive empirical results versus Ricci flows.
