Abstract: Let be a graph with weights for which a parabolic Harnack inequality holds with space-time scaling exponent . Suppose is another set of weights that are comparable to . We prove that this parabolic Harnack inequality also holds for with the weights . We also give stable necessary and sufficient conditions for this parabolic Harnack inequality to hold.
