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.
Classification of finite trees with positive-curvature discrete Einstein metrics via λ_max(R_T)<0, giving explicit endpoint families for long-spine caterpillars and exhaustive algebraic verification for short spines.
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.
Existence and uniqueness of discrete Einstein metrics on trees under Lin-Lu-Yau Ricci curvature is established via Perron-Frobenius theory, with positive curvature possible only on caterpillar trees and edge weights decreasing radially from the maximal edge.
