We study the random walk problem on a class of deterministic Scale-Free networks displaying a degree sequence for hubs scaling as a power law with an exponent $\gamma=\log 3/\log2$. We find exact results concerning different first-passage…
We derive the characteristic function of stochastic functionals of a random walk whose position is reset to the origin at random times drawn from a general probability distribution. We analyze the long-time behavior and obtain the temporal…
We consider random walks on the torus arising from the action of the group of affine transformations. We give a quantitative equidistribution result for this random walk under the assumption that the Zariski closure of the group generated…
Let J be a monic Jacobi matrix associated with the Cauchy transform F of a probability measure. We construct a pair of the lower and upper triangular block matrices L and U such that J=LU and the matrix J_c=UL is a monic generalized Jacobi…
We consider a certain sequence of random walks. The state space of the n-th random walk is the set of all strict partitions of n (that is, partitions without equal parts). We prove that, as n goes to infinity, these random walks converge to…
An ordinal pattern for a finite sequence of real numbers is a permutation that records the relative positions in the sequence. For random walks with steps drawn uniformly from $[-1,1]$, we show an ordinal pattern occurs with probability…
We identify a relationship between a certain family of random walks on Euclidean lattices and difference matrices over cyclic groups. We then use the techniques of Fourier analysis to estimate the return probabilities of these random walks,…
We study random typical minimal factorizations of the $n$-cycle into transpositions, which are factorizations of $(1, \ldots,n)$ as a product of $n-1$ transpositions. By viewing transpositions as chords of the unit disk and by reading them…
We investigate the linear statistics of random matrices with purely imaginary Bernoulli entries of the form $H_{pq} = \overline{H}_{qp} = \pm i$, that are either independently distributed or exhibit global correlations imposed by the…
We study the asymptotic position distribution of general quantum walks on a lattice, including walks with a random coin, which is chosen from step to step by a general Markov chain. In the unitary (i.e., non-random) case, we allow any…
We consider a linear Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou lattice with random spatially varying material coefficients. Using the methods of stochastic homogenization we show that solutions with long wave initial data converge in an appropriate sense to…
In this work, we give some criteria that allow us to decide when two sequences of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials are related via a Darboux transformation and to build explicitly such transformation. In particular, they allow us to see…
We study the asymptotic distribution of random walks on $\mathbb Z^d$ ($d\ge1$) in deterministic reversible environments defined by an assignment of a positive conductance to each edge of $\mathbb Z^d$. We identify a deterministic set of…
Let d\mu(t) be a probability measure on [0,+\infty) such that its moments are finite. Then the Cauchy-Stieltjes transform S of d\mu(t) is a Stieltjes function, which admits an expansion into a Stieltjes continued fraction. In the present…
We consider a continuous-time random walk which is the generalization, by means of the introduction of waiting periods on sites, of the one-dimensional nonhomogeneous random walk with a position-dependent drift known in the mathematical…
Applied to statistical physics models, the random cost algorithm enforces a Random Walk (RW) in energy (or possibly other thermodynamic quantities). The dynamics of this procedure is distinct from fixed weight updates. The probability for a…
The paper analyzes a specific class of random walks on quotients of $X:=\text{SL}(k,{\Bbb R})/ \Gamma$ for a lattice $\Gamma$. Consider a one parameter diagonal subgroup, $\{g_t\}$, with an associated abelian expanding horosphere, $U\cong…
This letter treats the quantum random walk on the line determined by a 2 times 2 unitary matrix U. A combinatorial expression for the mth moment of the quantum random walk is presented by using 4 matrices, P, Q, R and S given by U. The…
In this paper, we study a family of lattice walks which are related to the Hadamard conjecture. There is a bijection between paths of these walks which originate and terminate at the origin and equivalence classes of partial Hadamard…
For $\lambda>0$, we define a $\lambda$-damped random walk to be a random walk that is started from a random vertex of a graph and stopped at each step with probability $\frac{\lambda}{1+\lambda}$, otherwise continued with probability…
