The goal is to show that an edge-reinforced random walk on a graph of bounded degree, with reinforcement weight function $W$ taken from a general class of reciprocally summable reinforcement weight functions, traverses a random attracting…
This paper investigates a special variant of a pursuit-evasion game called lions and contamination. In a graph where all vertices are initially contaminated, a set of lions traverses the graph, clearing the contamination from every vertex…
We prove a general noncommutative law of large numbers. This applies in particular to random walks on any locally finite homogeneous graph, as well as to Brownian motion on Riemannian manifolds which admit a compact quotient. It also…
Random walks behave very differently for classical and quantum particles. Here we unveil a ubiquitous distinctive behavior of random walks of a photon in a one-dimensional lattice in the presence of a finite number of traps, at which the…
We consider the random walk in an \emph{i.i.d.} random environment on the infinite $d$-regular tree for $d \geq 3$. We consider the tree as a Cayley graph of free product of finitely many copies of $\Zbold$ and $\Zbold_2$ and define the…
We consider $d$ random walks $\big(S_n^{(j)}\big)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, $1\leq j \leq d$, in the same random environment $\omega$ in $\mathbb{Z}$, and a recurrent simple random walk $(Z_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ on $\mathbb{Z}$. We assume that,…
We consider (random) walks in a multidimensional orthant. Using the idea of universality in probability theory, one can associate a unique polyhedral domain to any given walk model. We use this connection to prove two sets of new results.…
We propose random walks on suitably defined graphs as a framework for finescale modeling of particle motion in an obstructed environment where the particle may have interactions with the obstructions and the mean path length of the particle…
Random walk is a fundamental concept with applications ranging from quantum physics to econometrics. Remarkably, one specific model of random walks appears to be ubiquitous across many fields as a tool to analyze transport phenomena in…
In this paper, we investigate the exact asymptotic behavior of the connectivity probability in the Erdos-Renyi graph G(n,p), under different asymptotic assumptions on the edge probability p=p(n). We propose a novel approach based on the…
We present an easy proof of Polya's theorem on random walks: with the probability one a random walk on the two-dimensional lattice returns to the starting point.
We consider the edge-reinforced random walk with multiple (but finitely many) walkers which influence the edge weights together. The walker which moves at a given time step is chosen uniformly at random, or according to a fixed order.…
We define a random walk on the set of primitive points of $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We prove that for walks generated by measures satisfying mild conditions these walks are recurrent in a strong sense. That is, we show that the associated Markov…
We prove strong theorems for the local time at infinity of a nearest neighbor transient random walk. First, laws of the iterated logarithm are given for the large values of the local time. Then we investigate the length of intervals over…
We consider the interlacement Poisson point process on the space of doubly-infinite Z^d-valued trajectories modulo time-shift, tending to infinity at positive and negative infinite times. The set of vertices and edges visited by at least…
We study the asymptotic behavior of ``true" self-avoiding random walks on general infinite locally finite trees. In this model, the walk starts at the root and, at each step, from its current vertex chooses a neighboring edge to traverse…
Firstly, for a general graph, we find a recursion formula on the number of Hamiltonian cycles and one on cycles. By this result, we give some new polynomial invariants. Secondly, we give a condition to tell whether a polynomial defined by…
Simple random walks on various types of partially horizontally oriented regular lattices are considered. The horizontal orientations of the lattices can be of various types (deterministic or random) and depending on the nature of the…
This thesis examines edge-reinforced random walks with some modifications to the standard definition. An overview of known results relating to the standard model is given and the proof of recurrence for the standard linearly edge-reinforced…
I start by reviewing some basic properties of random graphs. I then consider the role of random walks in complex networks and show how they may be used to explain why so many long tailed distributions are found in real data sets. The key…
