This article presents a new approach to the dynamics of a particle system, divided into two distinct microstates spreading out in a homogeneous medium. The particles belonging to the main microstate spread according to classical Fick's law…
In 1992, Bitar and Goles introduced the parallel chip-firing game on undirected graphs. Two years later, Prisner extended the game to directed graphs. While the properties of parallel chip-firing games on undirected graphs have been…
We study the stable configurations of the labeled chip-firing game on an infinitely subdivided $k$-star graph starting with $km$ chips on the center vertex. We prove a sorting property of this game and analyze special stable configurations…
Quantum walks have frequently envisioned the behavior of a quantum state traversing a classically defined, generally finite, graph structure. While this approach has already generated significant results, it imposes a strong assumption: all…
In this article, we provide three formulas allowing to compute the minimum amount of initial chips leading to an infinite Chip-firing game. These formulas hold for strongly connected directed loop-free multigraphs and generalize what was…
We introduce and prove basic results about several graph-theoretic notions relevant to the multiresolution analysis of flow graphs that represent the transfer of control in computer programs. We take a category-theoretical viewpoint to…
Graph burning is a discrete-time process that models the propagation of information in a network. Initially, we have an undirected graph of unburned vertices. At each time step, an unburned vertex is chosen to burn; additionally, unburned…
In this paper, we study a famous discrete dynamical system, the Chip Firing Game, used as a model in physics, economics and computer science. We use order theory and show that the set of reachable states (i.e. the configuration space) of…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finite graph and let $\Gamma_n$ be the "$n$th cone over $\Gamma$" (i.e., the join of $\Gamma$ and the complete graph $K_n$). We study the asymptotic structure of the chip-firing group $\text{Pic}^0(\Gamma_n)$.
We propose an effective algorithm that enumerates (and actually finds) all 3-edge colorings and Hamiltonian cycles in a cubic graph. The idea is to make a preliminary run that separates the vertices into two types: ``rigid'' (such that the…
Free-surface electrokinetic flows have been attracting increasing attention from the research community over recent times, as attributable to their diverse fields of applications ranging from fluid mixing, particle manipulation to…
Graph burning studies how fast a contagion, modeled as a set of fires, spreads in a graph. The burning process takes place in synchronous, discrete rounds. In each round, a fire breaks out at a vertex, and the fire spreads to all vertices…
A computational procedure is developed for determining the conversion probability for reaction-diffusion systems in which a first-order catalytic reaction is performed over active particles. We apply this general method to systems on metric…
Graph burning runs on discrete time steps. The aim is to burn all the vertices in a given graph in the least number of time steps. This number is known to be the burning number of the graph. The spread of social influence, an alarm, or a…
The paper describes a framework for multi-function system testing. Multi-function system testing is considered as fusion (or revelation) of clique-like structures. The following sets are considered: (i) subsystems (system parts or units /…
We introduce a cellular automaton model coupled with a transport equation for flows on graphs. The direction of the flow is described by a switching process where the switching probability dynamically changes according to the value of the…
Baker and Norine proved a Riemann--Roch theorem for divisors on undirected graphs. The notions of graph divisor theory are in duality with the notions of the chip-firing game of Bj\"orner, Lov\'asz and Shor. We use this connection to prove…
Graph burning is a simple model for the spread of social influence in networks. The objective is to measure how quickly a fire (e.g., a piece of fake news) can be spread in a network. The burning process takes place in discrete rounds. In…
Bubbling is a run-time graph transformation studied for the execution of non-deterministic steps in functional logic computations. This transformation has been proven correct, but as currently formulated it requires information about the…
A finite range interacting particle system on a transitive graph is considered. Assuming that the dynamics and the initial measure are invariant, the normalized empirical distribution process converges in distribution to a centered…
