A self-avoiding walk (SAW) is a path on a graph that visits each vertex at most once. The mean square displacement of an $n$-step SAW is the expected value of the square of the distance between the ending point and the starting point of an…
We develop and analyze a lattice difference equation (LDE) framework to model the spatial dynamics of invasion in populations. This framework extends beyond classical integro-difference and reaction-diffusion models by incorporating spatial…
We study the probabilities with which chordal Schramm-Loewner Evolutions (SLE) visit small neighborhoods of boundary points. We find formulas for general chordal SLE boundary visiting probability amplitudes, also known as SLE boundary…
The model of self-avoiding lattice walks and the asymptotic analysis of power-series have been two of the major research themes of Tony Guttmann. In this paper we bring the two together and perform a new analysis of the generating functions…
We present a comparative study of several algorithms for an in-plane random walk with a variable step. The goal is to check the efficiency of the algorithm in the case where the random walk terminates at some boundary. We recently found…
For $d \geq 2$ and $n \in \mathbb{N}$, let $\mathsf{W}_n$ denote the uniform law on self-avoiding walks of length $n$ beginning at the origin in the nearest-neighbour integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, and write $\Gamma$ for a…
Building on a work by Alm, we consider a model of weighted self-avoiding walks on a lattice and develop a method for computing upper bounds on the corresponding weighted connective constant, which we implement in a publicly available…
Quantum walks are known to have nontrivial interactions with absorbing boundaries. In particular it has been shown that an absorbing boundary in the one dimensional quantum walk partially reflects information, as observed by absorption…
The scaling properties of self-avoiding walks on a d-dimensional diluted lattice at the percolation threshold are analyzed by a field-theoretical renormalization group approach. To this end we reconsider the model of Y. Meir and A. B.…
A signed network represents how a set of nodes are connected by two logically contradictory types of links: positive and negative links. In a signed products network, two products can be complementary (purchased together) or substitutable…
A deterministic walk in a random environment can be understood as a general random process with finite-range dependence that starts repeating a loop once it reaches a site it has visited before. Such process lacks the Markov property. We…
Although visual search appears largely random, several oculomotor biases exist such that the likelihoods of saccade directions and lengths depend on the previous scan path. Compared to the most recent fixations, the impact of the longer…
We give exact relations for a number of amplitude combinations that occur in the study of self-avoiding walks, polygons and lattice trails. In particular, we elucidate the lattice-dependent factors which occur in those combinations which…
A growing self-avoiding walk (GSAW) is a walk on a graph that is directed, does not visit the same vertex twice, and has a trapped endpoint. We show that the generating function enumerating GSAWs on a half-infinite strip of finite height is…
A global picture of a random particle movement is given by the convex hull of the visited points. We obtained numerically the probability distributions of the volume and surface of the convex hulls of a selection of three types of…
We study the problem of counting all cycles or self-avoiding walks (SAWs) on triangulated planar graphs. We present a subexponential $2^{O(\sqrt{n})}$ time algorithm for this counting problem. Among the technical ingredients used in this…
The Airy line ensemble is a random collection of continuous ordered paths that plays an important role within random matrix theory and the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class. The aim of this paper is to prove a universality property of…
The Random Walks (RW) algorithm is one of the most e - cient and easy-to-use probabilistic segmentation methods. By combining contrast terms with prior terms, it provides accurate segmentations of medical images in a fully automated manner.…
It is commonly known that there exist short paths between vertices in a network showing the small-world effect. Yet vertices, for example, the individuals living in society, usually are not able to find the shortest paths, due to the very…
Counting integer solutions of linear constraints has found interesting applications in various fields. It is equivalent to the problem of counting lattice points inside a polytope. However, state-of-the-art algorithms for this problem…
