We completely characterize when the free effective resistance of an infinite graph can be expressed in terms of simple hitting probabilities of the graphs random walk.

The graphical notion of effective resistance has found wide-ranging applications in many areas of pure mathematics, applied mathematics and control theory. By the nature of its construction, effective resistance can only be computed in…

In Part I of this work we defined a generalization of the concept of effective resistance to directed graphs, and we explored some of the properties of this new definition. Here, we use the theory developed in Part I to compute effective…

Refining previous results, we establish a sharp asymptotic estimate on the expected graph distance between the origin and the terminal point of the trace of the first $n$ steps of the walk. A similar conclusion is drawn for the resistance…

We consider infinite weighted graphs $G$, i.e., sets of vertices $V$, and edges $E$ assumed countable infinite. An assignment of weights is a positive symmetric function $c$ on $E$ (the edge-set), conductance. From this, one naturally…

The concept of effective resistance, originally introduced in electrical circuit theory, has been extended to the setting of graphs by interpreting each edge as a resistor. In this context, the effective resistance between two vertices…

Effective resistance is an important metric that measures the similarity of two vertices in a graph. It has found applications in graph clustering, recommendation systems and network reliability, among others. In spite of the importance of…

This article discusses a geometric perspective on the well-known fact in graph theory that the effective resistance is a metric on the nodes of a graph. The classical proofs of this fact make use of ideas from electrical circuits or random…

We consider isomorphism properties of infinite random geometric graphs defined over a variety of metrics. In previous work, it was shown that for $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the $L_{\infty}$-metric, the infinite random geometric graph is, with…

In this paper we offer a metric similar to graph edit distance which measures the distance between two (possibly infinite)weighted graphs with finite norm (we define the norm of a graph as the sum of absolute values of its edges). The main…

Effective resistance is a distance between vertices of a graph that is both theoretically interesting and useful in applications. We study a variant of effective resistance called the biharmonic distance. While the effective resistance…
