Recently, random walks on dynamic graphs have been studied because of their adaptivity to the time-varying structure of real-world networks. In general, there is a tremendous gap between static and dynamic graph settings for the lazy simple…

We derive a perturbation expansion for general self-interacting random walks, where steps are made on the basis of the history of the path. Examples of models where this expansion applies are reinforced random walk, excited random walk, the…
Graph-limit theory focuses on the convergence of sequences of graphs when the number of nodes becomes arbitrarily large. This framework defines a continuous version of graphs allowing for the study of dynamical systems on very large graphs,…
We study some spectral properties of random walks on infinite countable amenable groups with an emphasis on locally finite groups, e.g. the infinite symmetric group. On locally finite groups, the random walks under consideration are driven…

Random walks are studied on disordered cellular networks in 2-and 3-dimensional spaces with arbitrary curvature. The coefficients of the evolution equation are calculated in term of the structural properties of the cellular system. The…
We give a sufficient condition for the existence of the harmonic measure from infinity of transient random walks on weighted graphs. In particular, this condition is verified by the random conductance model on $\Z^d$, $d\geq 3$, when the…
We consider a walker that at each step keeps the same direction with a probabilitythat depends on the time already spent in the direction the walker is currently moving. In this paper, we study some asymptotic properties of this persistent…
We investigate three aspects of weak* convergence of the $n$-step distributions of random walks on finite volume homogeneous spaces $G/\Gamma$ of semisimple real Lie groups. First, we look into the obvious obstruction to the upgrade from…
This paper concerns discrete-time occupancy processes on a finite graph. Our results can be formulated in two theorems, which are stated for vertex processes, but also applied to edge process (e.g., dynamic random graphs). The first theorem…
We study continuous-time (variable speed) random walks in random environments on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\ge2$, where, at time $t$, the walk at $x$ jumps across edge $(x,y)$ at time-dependent rate $a_t(x,y)$. The rates, which we assume stationary…
For the random walk among random conductances, we prove that the environment viewed by the particle converges to equilibrium polynomially fast in the variance sense, our main hypothesis being that the conductances are bounded away from…
Random walks are basic diffusion processes on networks and have applications in, for example, searching, navigation, ranking, and community detection. Recent recognition of the importance of temporal aspects on networks spurred studies of…
