In the laminar-constrained spanning tree problem, the goal is to find a minimum-cost spanning tree which respects upper bounds on the number of times each cut in a given laminar family is crossed. This generalizes the well-studied…
In this paper, we compute the next-nearest-neighboring site percolation (Connections exist not only between nearest-neighboring sites, but also between next-nearest-neighboring sites.) probabilities Pc on the two-dimensional Sierpinski…
We consider the polyhedral properties of two spanning tree problems with additional constraints. In the first problem, it is required to find a tree with a minimum sum of edge weights among all spanning trees with the number of leaves less…
We measure the fractal dimension of loop-erased random walk (LERW) in 3 dimensions, and estimate that it is 1.62400 +- 0.00005. LERW is closely related to the uniform spanning tree and the abelian sandpile model. We simulated LERW on both…
Let $\mathcal{G}_{n,r,s}$ denote a uniformly random $r$-regular $s$-uniform hypergraph on the vertex set $\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$. We establish a threshold result for the existence of a spanning tree in $\mathcal{G}_{n,r,s}$, restricting to $n$…
The time process of transport on randomly evolving trees is investigated. By introducing the notions of living and dead nodes a model of random tree evolution is constructed which describes the spreading in time of objects corresponding to…
In the polluted modified bootstrap percolation model, sites in the square lattice are independently initially occupied with probability $p$ or closed with probability $q$. A site becomes occupied at a subsequent step if it is not closed and…
We present a new Monte Carlo algorithm for studying site or bond percolation on any lattice. The algorithm allows us to calculate quantities such as the cluster size distribution or spanning probability over the entire range of site or bond…
This work describes probabilistic methods for utilizing random spanning trees generated via a random walk process. Goyal et al. showed that the union of random spanning trees approximates the expansion of every cut of a graph. First, we…
An ordinal pattern for a finite sequence of real numbers is a permutation that records the relative positions in the sequence. For random walks with steps drawn uniformly from $[-1,1]$, we show an ordinal pattern occurs with probability…
Motivated by the problem of routing reliably and scalably in a graph, we introduce the notion of a splicer, the union of spanning trees of a graph. We prove that for any bounded-degree n-vertex graph, the union of two random spanning trees…
We study the fundamental question of how likely it is that two randomly chosen trees are isomorphic to each other for different models of random trees. We show that the probability decays exponentially for rooted labeled trees as well as…
Next-token predictors often appear to develop internal representations of the latent world and its rules. The probabilistic nature of these models suggests a deep connection between the structure of the world and the geometry of probability…
Network growth models that embody principles such as preferential attachment and local attachment rules have received much attention over the last decade. Among various approaches, random walks have been leveraged to capture such…
The probability that two randomly selected phylogenetic trees of the same size are isomorphic is found to be asymptotic to a decreasing exponential modulated by a polynomial factor. The number of symmetrical nodes in a random phylogenetic…
Several interesting approaches have been reported in the literature on complex networks, random walks, and hierarchy of graphs. While many of these works perform random walks on stable, fixed networks, in the present work we address the…
In probability theory, reinforced walks are random walks on a lattice (or more generally a graph) that preferentially revisit neighboring `locations' (sites or bonds) that have been visited before. In this paper, we consider walks with…
We survey recent results on some one- and two-dimensional patterns generated by random permutations of natural numbers. In the first part, we discuss properties of random walks, evolving on a one-dimensional regular lattice in discrete time…
The classical, ubiquitous, predecessor problem is to construct a data structure for a set of integers that supports fast predecessor queries. Its generalization to weighted trees, a.k.a. the weighted ancestor problem, has been extensively…
The path-difference metric is one of the oldest and most popular distances for the comparison of phylogenetic trees, but its statistical properties are still quite unknown. In this paper we compute the expected value under the Yule model of…
