Estimates for the drop in the sum of all pairwise weighted distances effected by a decrease of the weight of an edge

Consider simple connected undirected graphs $G = (V, E)$ equipped with a function $w\colon E\rightarrow \{x\in \mathbb{R}\colon x\geq 0\}$. Define a function $d_{G,w}\colon V\times V\rightarrow\...
