The time it takes the fastest searcher out of $N\gg1$ searchers to find a target determines the timescale of many physical, chemical, and biological processes. This time is called an extreme first passage time (FPT) and is typically much…
We show that the transience or recurrence of a random walk in certain random environments on an arbitrary infinite locally finite tree is determined by the branching number of the tree, which is a measure of the average number of branches…
We consider a mortal random walker on a family of hierarchical graphs in the presence of some trap sites. The configuration comprising the graph, the starting point of the walk, and the locations of the trap sites is taken to be exactly…
In this work we consider a class of recursively-grown fractal networks $G_n(t)$, whose topology is controlled by two integer parameters $t$ and $n$. We first analyse the structural properties of $G_n(t)$ (including fractal dimension,…
Motivated by the dynamics of resonant neurons we discuss the properties of the first passage time (FPT) densities for nonmarkovian differentiable random processes. We start from an exact expression for the FPT density in terms of an…
A merge tree is a fundamental topological structure used to capture the sub-level set (and similarly, super-level set) topology in scalar data analysis. The interleaving distance is a theoretically sound, stable metric for comparing merge…
The random walk is one of the most basic dynamic properties of complex networks, which has gradually become a research hotspot in recent years due to its many applications in actual networks. An important characteristic of the random walk…
We study the first-passage-time (FPT) properties of an active Brownian particle under stochastic resetting to its initial configuration, comprising its position and orientation, to reach an absorbing wall in two dimensions. Coupling a…
Random walks with memory typically involve rules where a preference for either revisiting or avoiding those sites visited in the past are introduced somehow. Such effects have a direct consequence on the statistics of first-passage and…
In 2008, T\'oth and Vet\H{o} defined the self-repelling random walk with directed edges as a non-Markovian random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$: in this model, the probability that the walk moves from a point of $\mathbb{Z}$ to a given neighbor…
An ensemble of trajectories with dynamical activity and first-passage time (FPT) is considered in the context of the thermodynamics of trajectories. The relationship between the average FPT and the total change in entropy is determined,…
As a classic self-similar network model, Sierpinski gasket network has been used many times to study the characteristics of self-similar structure and its influence on the dynamic properties of the network. However, the network models…
We consider one-dimensional discrete-time random walks (RWs) in the presence of finite size traps of length $\ell$ over which the RWs can jump. We study the survival probability of such RWs when the traps are periodically distributed and…
In this paper, we study the complexity of the periodic temporal graph realization problem with respect to upper bounds on the fastest path durations among its vertices. This constraint with respect to upper bounds appears naturally in…
Analytical results for the distribution of first hitting times of random walks on Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi networks are presented. Starting from a random initial node, a random walker hops between adjacent nodes until it hits a node which it has…
A lot of previous work showed that the sectional mean first-passage time (SMFPT), i.e., the average of mean first-passage time (MFPT) for random walks to a given hub node (node with maximum degree) averaged over all starting points in…
In the present work, we study random walks on complex networks subject to stochastic resetting when the resetting probability is node-dependent. Using a renewal approach, we derive the exact expressions of the stationary occupation…
We use a first-passage time approach to study the statistics of the trapping times induced by persistent motion of active particles colliding with flat boundaries. The angular first-passage time distribution and mean first-passage time is…
The random walk process underlies the description of a large number of real world phenomena. Here we provide the study of random walk processes in time varying networks in the regime of time-scale mixing; i.e. when the network connectivity…
