By a theorem of Volkov (2001) we know that on most graphs with positive probability the linearly vertex-reinforced random walk (VRRW) stays within a finite "trapping" subgraph at all large times. The question of whether this tail behavior…

The continuous-time random walk (CTRW) model is useful for alleviating the computational burden of simulating diffusion in actual media. In principle, isotropic CTRW only requires knowledge of the step-size, $P_l$, and waiting-time, $P_t$,…

Starting from a continuous time random walk (CTRW) model of particles that may evanesce as they walk, our goal is to arrive at macroscopic integro-differential equations for the probability density for a particle to be found at point r at…

For a continuous-time quantum walk on a line the variance of the position observable grows quadratically in time, whereas, for its classical counterpart on the same graph, it exhibits a linear, diffusive, behaviour. A quantum walk, thus,…
