Outerplanar graphs with positive Lin-Lu-Yau curvature

Combinatorics 2025-10-01 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we show that all simple outerplanar graphs GG with minimum degree at least 22 and positive Lin-Lu-Yau Ricci curvature on every edge have maximum degree at most 99. Furthermore, if GG is maximally outerplanar, then GG has at most 1010 vertices. Both upper bounds are sharp.
