Ollivier Ricci Curvature of Directed Hypergraphs

Discrete Mathematics 2019-07-11 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We develop a definition of Ricci curvature on directed hypergraphs and explore the consequences of that definition. The definition generalizes Ollivier's definition for graphs. It involves a carefully designed optimal transport problem between sets of vertices.
