We introduce a class of nearest-neighbor integer random walks in random and non-random media, which includes excited random walks considered in the literature. At each site the random walker has a drift to the right, the strength of which…

Given a branching random walk on a graph, we consider two kinds of truncations: by inhibiting the reproduction outside a subset of vertices and by allowing at most $m$ particles per site. We investigate the convergence of weak and strong…

In this paper, we consider a symmetric pure jump Markov process $X$ on a metric measure space with volume doubling conditions. Our focus is on estimating the transition density $p(t,x,y)$ of $X$ and studying its stability when the jumping…

We derive an explicit formula for the fundamental solution $K_{T_{q+1}}(x,x_{0};t)$ to the discrete-time diffusion equation on the $(q+1)$-regular tree $T_{q+1}$ in terms of the discrete $I$-Bessel function. We then use the formula to…

We prove that supercritical branching random walk on a transient graph converges almost surely under rescaling to a random measure on the Martin boundary of the graph. Several open problems and conjectures about this limiting measure are…

We study the branching random walk on weighted graphs; site-breeding and edge-breeding branching random walks on graphs are seen as particular cases. We describe the strong critical value in terms of a geometrical parameter of the graph. We…

In a former paper we simplified the proof of a theorem on personalized random walk that is fundamental to graph nodes clustering and generalized it to bipartite graphs for a specific case where the proobability of random jump was…

We prove new results on lazy random walks on finite graphs. To start, we obtain new estimates on return probabilities $P^t(x,x)$ and the maximum expected hitting time $t_{\rm hit}$, both in terms of the relaxation time. We also prove a…
