Let G be a quasirandom graph on n vertices, and let W be a random walk on G of length alpha n^2. Must the set of edges traversed by W form a quasirandom graph? This question was asked by B\"ottcher, Hladk\'y, Piguet and Taraz. Our aim in…
Many natural and artificial networks evolve in time. Nodes and connections appear and disappear at various timescales, and their dynamics has profound consequences for any processes in which they are involved. The first empirical analysis…
Robust and comprehensive characterization of the topological properties of complex networks requires the adoption of several respective measurements, among which the node degree has special importance. In the present work, we provide an…
In a wide range of complex networks, the links between the nodes are temporal and may sporadically appear and disappear. This temporality is fundamental to analyze the formation of paths within such networks. Moreover, the presence of the…
We study the behavior of the random walk in a continuum independent long-range percolation model, in which two given vertices $x$ and $y$ are connected with probability that asymptotically behaves like $|x-y|^{-\alpha}$ with $\alpha>d$,…

We study a discrete time self interacting random process on graphs, which we call Greedy Random Walk. The walker is located initially at some vertex. As time evolves, each vertex maintains the set of adjacent edges touching it that have not…

The graph obtained from the integer grid Z x Z by the removal of all horizontal edges that do not belong to the x-axis is called a comb. In a random walk on a graph, whenever a walker is at a vertex v, in the next step it will visit one of…
We address the question of understanding the effect of the underlying network topology on the spread of a virus and the dissemination of information when users are mobile performing independent random walks on a graph. To this end we…

A random walk is known as a random process which describes a path including a succession of random steps in the mathematical space. It has increasingly been popular in various disciplines such as mathematics and computer science.…
We study the behavior of Random Walk in Random Environment (RWRE) on trees in the critical case left open in previous work. Representing the random walk by an electrical network, we assume that the ratios of resistances of neighboring edges…
We propose local-biased random walks on general networks where a Markovian walker can choose between different types of biases in each node to define transitions to its neighbors depending on their degrees. For this ergodic dynamics, we…
We propose a consistent approach to the statistics of the shortest paths in random graphs with a given degree distribution. This approach goes further than a usual tree ansatz and rigorously accounts for loops in a network. We calculate the…
Using edge weights is essential for modeling real-world systems where links possess relevant information, and preserving this information in low-dimensional representations is relevant for classification and prediction tasks. This paper…
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…
We introduce weighted Markovian graphs, a random walk model that decouples the transition dynamics of a Markov chain from (random) edge weights representing the cost of traversing each edge. This decoupling allows us to study the…
We present a simple mechanism for generating undirected scale-free networks using random walkers, where the network growth is determined by choosing parent vertices by sequential random walks. We show that this mechanism produces scale-free…
