So, is there any way to distinguish graphs and plots in Internet?

I was looking for (Olivier-)Ricci curvature of graphs and found a lot about Ricci curvature of function graphs and not so much about my topic.

P.S. This question is expected to be really old enough, but I couldn't find any link, since this problem again involves Internet search. I suppose that community will offer some tricks to add in something like Wikipedia article on Graph Theory in order to help future generations of mathematicians.

  • $\begingroup$ For your particular inquiry, I think using the keyword "discrete Ricci curvature" helps to get stuff related only to graphs. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 19, 2023 at 13:25
  • $\begingroup$ @SamHopkins, I already tried to google it in Russian, got some ideas and then googled "curvature of hypergraphs". It worked nicely. However, not everyone is familiar with Russian language. $\endgroup$

Use Google Scholar instead of plain Google; I simply entered graphs and pretty much all the items returned by Google Scholar refer to graphs in the mathematical context.

It also suggests helpful specialized search terms:

Search using "edge", "vertex", and/or "node" as keywords instead of "graph".

    $\begingroup$ I suggest as well as, rather than instead of. The word edge, in particular, is very common. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 20, 2023 at 9:35

    $\begingroup$ I took the liberty to edit "vertex" in as well. $\endgroup$
