Graph matrices are a type of matrix which has played a crucial role in analyzing the sum of squares hierarchy on average case problems. However, except for rough norm bounds, little is known about graph matrices. In this paper, we take a…
Random walks are used for modeling various dynamics in, for example, physical, biological, and social contexts. Furthermore, their characteristics provide us with useful information on the phase transition and critical phenomena of even…
We consider two or more simple symmetric walks on some graphs, e.g. the real line, the plane or the two dimensional comb lattice, and investigate the properties of the distance among the walkers.
Motivated by a problem arising from pharmaceutical science [B. Baeumer et al., Discr. Contin. Dyn. Sys. B 12], we study random walks on the contact graph of a bidisperse random sphere packing. For a random walk on the unweighted graph that…
Recently, several papers have been devoted to the analysis of lamplighter random walks, in particular when the underlying graph is the infinite path $\mathbb{Z}$. In the present paper, we develop a spectral analysis for lamplighter random…
In this work, we are interested in the set of visited vertices of a tree $\mathbb{T}$ by a randomly biased random walk $\mathbb{X}:=(X_n,n \in \mathbb{N})$. The aim is to study a generalized range, that is to say the volume of the trace of…
We initiate the study of property testing in arbitrary planar graphs. We prove that bipartiteness can be tested in constant time, improving on the previous bound of $\tilde{O}(\sqrt{n})$ for graphs on $n$ vertices. The constant-time…
We prove existence of asymptotic entropy of random walks on regular languages over a finite alphabet and we give formulas for it. Furthermore, we show that the entropy varies real-analytically in terms of probability measures of constant…
We study countable graphs that -- up to isomorphism and with probability one -- arise from a random process, in a similar fashion as the Rado graph. Unlike in the classical case, we do not require that probabilities assigned to pairs of…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the number of paths of length $N$ on several classes of infinite graphs with a single special vertex. This vertex can work as an entropic trap for the path, i.e. under certain conditions the dominant part…
We study the escape probability problem in random walks over graphs. Given vertices, $s,t,$ and $p$, the problem asks for the probability that a random walk starting at $s$ will hit $t$ before hitting $p$. Such probabilities can be…
In this article we consider transient random walks on free products of graphs. We prove that the asymptotic range of these random walks exists and is strictly positive. In particular, we show that the range varies real-analytically in terms…
Matrix-based centrality measures have enjoyed significant popularity in network analysis, in no small part due to our ability to rigorously analyze their behavior as parameters vary. Recent work has considered the relationship between…
Let $G$ be a simple graph with $n$ vertices and let $$C(G;x)=\sum_{k=0}^n(-1)^{n-k}c(G,k)x^k$$ denote the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of $G$. Then if the size $|E(G)|$ is large compared to the maximum degree $\Delta(G)$, Laplacian…
Graphs are used in many disciplines to model the relationships that exist between objects in a complex discrete system. Researchers may wish to compare a network of interest to a "typical" graph from a family (or ensemble) of graphs which…
In a graph, nodes can be characterized locally (with their degree $k$) or globally (e.g. with their average length path $\xi$ to other nodes). Here we investigate how $\xi$ depends on $k$. Our earlier algorithm of the construction of the…
Random walk on changing graphs is considered. For sequences of finite graphs increasing monotonically towards a limiting infinite graph, we establish transition probability upper bounds. It yields sufficient transience criteria for simple…
The complexity of a graph is the number of its labeled spanning trees. In this work complexity is studied in settings that admit regular graphs. An exact formula is established linking complexity of the complement of a regular graph to…
It is shown that the path of a simple random walk on any graph, consisting of all vertices visited and edges crossed by the walk, is almost surely a recurrent subgraph.
Graphlets are induced subgraph patterns that are crucial to the understanding of the structure and function of a large network. A lot of efforts have been devoted to calculating graphlet statistics where random walk based approaches are…
