The time process of transport on randomly evolving trees is investigated. By introducing the notions of living and dead nodes a model of random tree evolution is constructed which describes the spreading in time of objects corresponding to…
The frog model is an interacting particle system on a graph. Active particles perform independent simple random walks, while sleeping particles remain inert until visited by an active particle. Some number of sleeping particles are placed…
By introducing the notions of living and dead nodes a new model of random tree evolution with continuous time parameter has been constructed. It is assumed that two random variables, the lifetime and the offspring number of living nodes…
The frog model is a stochastic model for the spreading of an epidemic on a graph, in which a dormant particle starts to perform a simple random walk on the graph and to awake other particles, once it becomes active. We study two versions of…
The affine group of a tree is the group of the isometries of a homogeneous tree that fix an end of its boundary. Consider a probability measure on this group and the associated random walk. The main goal of this paper is to determine the…
We study a system of simple random walks on $\mathcal{T}_{d,n} = \mathcal{V}_{d,n}, \mathcal{E}_{d,n})$, the $d$-ary tree of depth $n$, known as the frog model. Initially there are Pois($\lambda$) particles at each site, independently, with…
The aim of this paper is to underline the relation between reversible growth processes and invariant percolation. We present two models of interacting branching random walks (BRWs), truncated BRWs and competing BRWs, where survival of the…
Motivated as a null model for comparison with data, we study the following model for a phylogenetic tree on $n$ extant species. The origin of the clade is a random time in the past, whose (improper) distribution is uniform on $(0,\infty)$.…
Let $G$ be the product of finitely many trees $T_1\times T_2 \times \cdots \times T_N$, each of which is regular with degree at least three. We consider Bernoulli bond percolation and the Ising model on this graph, giving a short proof that…
In this paper, we study the random walk on a supercritical branching process with an uncountable and unbounded set of types supported on the $d$-regular tree $\mathbb{T}_d$ ($d\geq 3$), namely the cluster $\mathcal{C}_\circ^h$ of the root…
We study the time evolution of continuous-time quantum walks on randomly changing graphs. At certain moments edges of the graph appear or disappear with a given probability. We focus on the case when the time interval between subsequent…
In this paper, we study a class of random walks that build their own tree. At each step, the walker attaches a random number of leaves to its current position. The model can be seen as a subclass of the Random Walk in Changing Environments…
We study the frog model with death on the biregular tree $\mathbb{T}_{d_1,d_2}$. Initially, there is a random number of awake and sleeping particles located on the vertices of the tree. Each awake particle moves as a discrete-time…
We develop a technique that provides a lower bound on the speed of transient random walk in a random environment on regular trees. A refinement of this technique yields upper bounds on the first regeneration level and regeneration time. In…
We consider a random interacting particle system, known as the frog model, on infinite Galton-Watson trees allowing offspring zero and one. The system starts with one awake particle (frog) at the root of the tree and a random number of…
We propose a model for evolution aiming to reproduce statistical features of fossil data, in particular the distributions of extinction events, the distribution of species per genus and the distribution of lifetimes, all of which are known…
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…
The frog model on the rooted d-ary tree changes from transient to recurrent as the number of frogs per site is increased. We prove that the location of this transition is on the same order as the degree of the tree.
We prove that the probability the frog model with death and drift on the $d$-ary tree is recurrent can be made positive and thus is not monotone in the drift parameter.
We study branching random walks on Cayley graphs. A first result is that the trace of a transient branching random walk on a Cayley graph is a.s. transient for the simple random walk. In addition, it has a.s. critical percolation…
