We present the first rigorous quantitative analysis of once-reinforced random walks (ORRW) on general graphs, based on a novel change of measure formula.~This enables us to prove large deviations estimates for the range of the walk to have…

In a strongly connected graph $G = (V,E)$, a cut arc (also called strong bridge) is an arc $e \in E$ whose removal makes the graph no longer strongly connected. Equivalently, there exist $u,v \in V$, such that all $u$-$v$ walks contain $e$.…

Consider the following computational problem: given a regular digraph $G=(V,E)$, two vertices $u,v \in V$, and a walk length $t\in \mathbb{N}$, estimate the probability that a random walk of length $t$ from $u$ ends at $v$ to within $\pm…

In this paper, we show that for any positive integer $m$ and $k\in [2]$, let $G$ be a $(2m+2k+2)$-connected graph and let $a_1,\ldots , a_m, s, t$ be any distinct vertices of $G$, there are $k$ internally disjoint $s$-$t$ paths $P_1,…

Given a countable group $G$ splitting as a free product $G=G_1\ast\dots\ast G_k\ast F_N$, we establish classification results for subgroups of the group $Out(G,\mathcal{F})$ of all outer automorphisms of $G$ that preserve the conjugacy…

We analyze the asymptotic number and typical structure of claw-free graphs at constant edge densities. The first of our main results is a formula for the asymptotics of the logarithm of the number of claw-free graphs of edge density $\gamma…

Let $G_n=\mathbb{Z}_n\times \mathbb{Z}_n$ for $n\geq 4$ and $S=\{(i,0),(0,i),(i,i): 1\leq i \leq n-1\}\subset G_n$. Define $\Gamma(n)$ to be the Cayley graph of $G_n$ with respect to the connecting set $S$. It is known that $\Gamma(n)$ is a…

The notion of a word-representable graph has been studied in a series of papers in the literature. A graph $G=(V,E)$ is word-representable if there exists a word $w$ over the alphabet $V$ such that letters $x$ and $y$ alternate in $w$ if…

A Random Walk in Changing Environment (RWCE) is a weighted random walk on a locally finite, connected graph $G$ with random, time-dependent edge-weights. This includes self-interacting random walks, where the edge-weights depend on the…

A graph is edge-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on the edge set. In this paper, we investigate the automorphism groups of edge-transitive graphs of odd order and twice prime valency. Let $\Gamma$ be a connected graph…

A graph is word-representable if it can be represented in a certain way using alternation of letters in words. Word-representable graphs generalise several important and well-studied classes of graphs, and they can be characterised by…
