We give an $m^{1+o(1)}\beta^{o(1)}$-time algorithm for generating a uniformly random spanning tree in an undirected, weighted graph with max-to-min weight ratio $\beta$. We also give an $m^{1+o(1)}\epsilon^{-o(1)}$-time algorithm for…

We consider a modification of classical branching random walk, where we add i.i.d. perturbations to the positions of the particles in each generation. In this model, which was introduced and studied by Bandyopadhyay and Ghosh (2023),…

We consider local Markov chain Monte-Carlo algorithms for sampling from the weighted distribution of independent sets with activity $\l$, where the weight of an independent set $I$ is $\l^{|I|}$. A recent result has established that Gibbs…

The aim of this paper is to check feasibility of using the maximal-entropy random walk in algorithms finding communities in complex networks. A number of such algorithms exploit an ordinary or a biased random walk for this purpose. Their…

Sood and Grassberger studied in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 098701 (2007)] random walks on random graphs that are biased towards a fixed target point. They put forward a critical bias strength b_c such that a random walker on an infinite graph…

This paper presents a sharp approximation of the density of long runs of a random walk conditioned on its end value or by an average of a function of its summands as their number tends to infinity. In the large deviation range of the…

The notion of walk entropy $S^V(G,\beta)$ for a graph $G$ at the inverse temperature $\beta$ was put forward recently by Estrada et al. (2014) \cite{6}. It was further proved by Benzi \cite{1} that a graph is walk-regular if and only if its…
