Random walks on general graphs play an important role in the understanding of the general theory of stochastic processes. Beyond their fundamental interest in probability theory, they arise also as simple models of physical systems. A brief…
Consider $n$ points distributed uniformly in $[0,1]^d$. Form a graph by connecting two points if their mutual distance is no greater than $r(n)$. This gives a random geometric graph, $\gnrn$, which is connected for appropriate $r(n)$. We…
We describe the structure of the graphs with the smallest average distance and the largest average clustering given their order and size. There is usually a unique graph with the largest average clustering, which at the same time has the…
Different models of random walks on the dual graphs of compact urban structures are considered. Analysis of access times between streets helps to detect the city modularity. The statistical mechanics approach to the ensembles of lazy random…
In several recent papers, the maximal safety distance that two players can maintain while moving through a graph has been defined and studied using three different spans of the graph, each with different movement conditions. Mainly, vertex…
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 are interested in the behaviour of the range of the Campanino and P\'etritis random walk, namely a simple random walk on the lattice $\mathbb Z^2$ with random orientations of the horizontal layers. We also study the range of random walks…
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…
We consider a model for random walks on random environments (RWRE) with random subset of the d-dimensional Euclidean lattice as the vertices, and uniform transition probabilities on 2d points (two "coordinate nearest points" in each of the…
Using both numerical simulations and scaling arguments, we study the behavior of a random walker on a one-dimensional small-world network. For the properties we study, we find that the random walk obeys a characteristic scaling form. These…
It is easy to see that in a connected graph any 2 longest paths have a vertex in common. For k>=7, Skupien in [7] obtained a connected graph in which some k longest paths have no common vertex, but every k-1 longest paths have a common…
A Random walk labeling of a graph $G$ is any labeling of $G$ that could have been obtained by performing a random walk on $G$. Continuing two recent works, we calculate the number of random walk labelings of perfect trees, combs, and double…
Geometric graphs appear in many real-world data sets, such as road networks, sensor networks, and molecules. We investigate the notion of distance between embedded graphs and present a metric to measure the distance between two geometric…
I obtain the dynamics of the continuous time quantum walk on a $d$-dimensional lattice, with periodic boundary conditions, as an appropriate limit of the dynamics of the discrete time quantum walk on the same lattice. This extends the main…
The following random process on $\Z^4$ is studied. At first visit to a site, the two first coordinates perform a (2-dimensional) simple random walk step. At further visits, it is the last two coordinates which perform a simple random walk…
We consider the problem of determining the proportion of edges that are discovered in an Erdos-Renyi graph when one constructs all shortest paths from a given source node to all other nodes. This problem is equivalent to the one of…
We investigate crossing path probabilities for two agents that move randomly in a bounded region of the plane or on a sphere (denoted $R$). At each discrete time-step the agents move, independently, fixed distances $d_1$ and $d_2$ at angles…
This survey is concerned with random walks on mapping class groups. We illustrate how the actions of mapping class groups on Teichm\"uller spaces or curve complexes reveal the nature of random walks, and vice versa. Our emphasis is on the…
The Martin boundary associated with the simple random walk on an example of partially oriented lattice is shown to be trivial by computing fine estimates of the Green kernel.
Focusing on coupling between edges, we generalize the relationship between the normalized graph Laplacian and random walks on graphs by devising an appropriate normalization for the Hodge Laplacian -- the generalization of the graph…
