This paper provides an overview of results, concerning longest or heaviest paths, in the area of random directed graphs on the integers along with some extensions. We study first-order asymptotics of heaviest paths allowing weights both on…
In this paper we derive a technique of obtaining limit theorems for suprema of L\'evy processes from their random walk counterparts. For each $a>0$, let $\{Y^{(a)}_n:n\ge 1\}$ be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random…
In this paper, we propose a method to solve discrete-time peak computation problems (DPCPs for short). DPCPs are optimization problems that consist of maximizing a function over the reachable values set of a discrete-time dynamical system.…
For the density of Galton-Watson processes in the Schr\"oder case, we derive a complete left tail asymptotic series consisting of power terms multiplied by periodic factors.
An introduction to Leavitt path algebras of arbitrary directed graphs is presented, and direct limit techniques are developed, with which many results that had previously been proved for countable graphs can be extended to uncountable ones.…
\L{}ukasiewicz paths are lattice paths in $\Bbb{N}^2$ starting at the origin, ending on the $x$-axis, and consisting of steps in the set $\{(1,k), k\geq -1\}$. We give generating function and exact value for the number of $n$-length…
In this paper, the leading term of the asymptotics of the number of possible final positions of a random walk on a directed Hamiltonian metric graph is found. Consideration of such dynamical systems could be motivated by problems of…
Let $L$ be a set of positive integers. We call a (directed) graph $G$ an $L$\emph{-cycle graph} if all cycle lengths in $G$ belong to $L$. Let $c(L,n)$ be the maximum number of cycles possible in an $n$-vertex $L$-cycle graph (we use…
We construct a two-tailed peak-over-threshold Hawkes model that captures asymmetric self- and cross-excitation in and between left- and right-tail extreme values within a time series. We demonstrate its applicability by investigating…
We call progressive paths and rushed paths two families of Dyck paths studied by Asinowski and Jelinek, which have the same enumerating sequence (OEIS entry A287709). We present a bijection proving this fact. Rushed paths turn out to be in…
We introduce an equivalence relation on the set of Dyck paths and some operations on them. We determine a formula for the cardinality of those equivalence classes and use this information to obtain a combinatorial formula for the number of…
We derive sharp probability bounds on the tails of a product of symmetric non-negative random variables using only information about their first two moments. If the covariance matrix of the random variables is known exactly, these bounds…
We examine the exponentially improved asymptotic expansion of the Lerch zeta function $L(\lambda,a,s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \exp (2\pi ni\lambda)/(n+a)^s$ for large complex values of $a$, with $\lambda$ and $s$ regarded as parameters. It is…
In this paper, we prove convergence in distribution of Langevin processes in the overdamped asymptotics. The proof relies on the classical perturbed test function (or corrector) method, which is used both to show tightness in path space,…
Dispersed Dyck paths are Dyck paths, with possible flat steps on level 0. We revisit and augment questions about them from the Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, in a systematic way that uses generating functions and the kernel method.
The reflected process of a random walk or L\'evy process arises in many areas of applied probability, and a question of particular interest is how the tail of the distribution of the heights of the excursions away from zero behaves…
We provide formulas for generating functions of many types of paths in various rooted tree structures. We compute the $k$th moment of the generating functions for various types of vertical paths. In two specific familes of trees we find…
The classical modeling of spatial extremes relies on asymptotic models (i.e., max-stable processes or $r$-Pareto processes) for block maxima or peaks over high thresholds, respectively. However, at finite levels, empirical evidence often…
A long standing open problem in extremal graph theory is to describe all graphs that maximize the number of induced copies of a path on four vertices. The character of the problem changes in the setting of oriented graphs, and becomes more…
A special case of a conjecture by Thomass\'e is that any oriented graph with minimum outdegree k contains a dipath of length 2k. For the sake of proving whether or not a counterexample exists, we present reductions and establish bounds on…
