We study self-avoiding walks on the square lattice restricted to a square box of side $L$ weighted by a length fugacity without restriction of their end points. This models a confined polymer in dilute solution. The model admits a phase…
In this work we introduce correlated random walks on $\Z$. When picking suitably at random the coefficient of correlation, and taking the average over a large number of walks, we obtain a discrete Gaussian process, whose scaling limit is…
We provide the exact generating function for semi-flexible and super-flexible interacting partially directed walks and also analyse the solution in detail. We demonstrate that while fully flexible walks have a collapse transition that is…
We introduce a random walk in random environment associated to an underlying directed polymer model in $1+1$ dimensions. This walk is the positive temperature counterpart of the competition interface of percolation and arises as the limit…
We consider a directed variant of the negative-weight percolation model in a two-dimensional, periodic, square lattice. The problem exhibits edge weights which are taken from a distribution that allows for both positive and negative values.…
A random walk-based method is proposed to efficiently compute the solution of a large class of fractional in time linear systems of differential equations (linear F-ODE systems), along with the derivatives with respect to the system…
We consider the Beta polymer, an exactly solvable model of directed polymer on the square lattice, introduced by Barraquand and Corwin. We study the statistical properties of its point to point partition sum. The problem is equivalent to a…
Polymers in confined spaces lose conformational entropy. This induces a net repulsive entropic force on the walls of the confining space. A model for this phenomenon is a lattice walk between confining walls, and in this paper a model of an…
We consider a discrete time quantum walker in one dimension, where at each step, the step length $\ell$ is chosen from a distribution $P(\ell) \propto \ell^{-\delta -1}$ with $\ell \leq \ell_{max}$. We evaluate the probability $f(x,t)$ that…
We define a discrete-time, coined quantum walk on weighted graphs that is inspired by Szegedy's quantum walk. Using this, we prove that many lackadaisical quantum walks, where each vertex has $l$ integer self-loops, can be generalized to a…
In this article we study a one dimensional model for a polymer in a poor solvent: the random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$ penalized by its range. More precisely, we consider a Gibbs transformation of the law of the simple symmmetric random walk by…
We find and analyse the exact solution of a model of three different polymers with asymmetric contact interactions in two dimensions, modelling a scenario where there are different types of polymers involved. In particular, we find the…
This paper gives the quantum walks determined by graph zeta functions. The result enables us to obtain the characteristic polynomial of the transition matrix of the quantum walk, and it determines the behavior of the quantum walk. We treat…
We consider a self-avoiding walk model (SAW) on the faces of the square lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$. This walk can traverse the same face twice, but crosses any edge at most once. The weight of a walk is a product of local weights: each square…
Several algorithms have been used for mass transfer between particles undergoing advective and macro-dispersive random walks. The mass transfer between particles is required for general reactions on, and among, particles. The mass transfer…
The lackadaisical quantum walk, a quantum analog of the lazy random walk, is obtained by adding a weighted self-loop transition to each state. Impacts of the self-loop weight $l$ on the final success probability in finding a solution make…
We investigate a model of continuous-time simple random walk paths in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ undergoing two competing interactions: an attractive one towards the large values of a random potential, and a self-repellent one in the spirit of the…
In this paper we present closed-form expressions for the wave function that governs the evolution of the discrete-time quantum walk on a line when the coin operator is arbitrary. The formulas were derived assuming that the walker can either…
Linear polymers adsorbing on a wall can be modelled by half-space self-avoiding walks adsorbing on a line in the square lattice, or on a surface in the cubic lattice. In this paper a numerical approach based on the GAS algorithm is used to…
