A simple strategy to explore a network is to use a random-walk where the walker jumps from one node to an adjacent node at random. It is known that biasing the random jump, the walker can explore every walk of the same length with equal…

The Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebras (BMW algebras) of type En for n=6,7,8 are shown to be semisimple and free over a quotient of a polynomial algebra of ranks 1,440,585; 139,613,625; and 53,328,069,225. We also show they are cellular over…
