Abstract: We introduce a modified non-linear heat equation $partia{l}_{t}u=Deltau+Gammau$ as a substitute of $log{P}_{t}f$ where $P_t$ is the heat semigroup. We prove an exponential decay of $Gammau$ under the Bakry Emery curvature condition $CD(K,infty)$ and prove the Li-Yau inequality $-Delta{u}_{t}leqfracn2t$ under the Bakry Emery curvature condition $CD(0,n)$. From this, we deduce the volume doubling property which solves a major open problem in discrete Ricci curvature. As an application, we show that there exist no expander graphs satisfying $CD(0,n)$.
