A sequence of graphs $ \{G_k\} $ is a Ramsey sequence if for every positive integer $ k $, the graph $ G_k $ is a proper subgraph of $ G_{k+1} $, and there exists an integer $n > k$ such that every red-blue coloring of $ G_n $ contains a…
In this paper we find an upper bound for the probability that a $3$ dimensional simple random walk covers each point in a nearest neighbor path connecting 0 and the boundary of an $L_1$ ball of radius $N$. For $d\ge 4$, it has been shown in…
A recurrent graph $G$ has the infinite collision property if two independent random walks on $G$, started at the same point, collide infinitely often a.s. We give a simple criterion in terms of Green functions for a graph to have this…
Let $c_n = c_n(d)$ denote the number of self-avoiding walks of length $n$ starting at the origin in the Euclidean nearest-neighbour lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Let $\mu = \lim_n c_n^{1/n}$ denote the connective constant of $\mathbb{Z}^d$. In…
We consider d independent walkers on Z, m of them performing simple symmetric random walk and r = d -- m of them performing recurrent RWRE (Sinai walk), in I independent random environments. We show that the product is recurrent, almost…
Let $H\xrightarrow{s} G$ denote that any $s$-coloring of $E(H)$ contains a monochromatic $G$. The degree Ramsey number of a graph $G$, denoted by $R_\Delta(G, s)$, is $\min \{\Delta(H): H \xrightarrow{s} G \}$. We consider degree Ramsey…
We consider the random conductance model, where the underlying graph is an infinite supercritical Galton--Watson tree, the conductances are independent but their distribution may depend on the degree of the incident vertices. We prove that,…
For a non-negative integer $s\le |V(G)|-3$, a graph $G$ is $s$-Hamiltonian if the removal of any $k\le s$ vertices results in a Hamiltonian graph. Given a connected simple graph $G$ that is not isomorphic to a path, a cycle, or a $K_{1,3}$,…
In [1], the authors consider a random walk $(Z_{n,1},\ldots,Z_{n,K+1})\in \mathbb{Z}^{K+1}$ with the constraint that each coordinate of the walk is at distance one from the following one. A functional central limit theorem for the first…
We consider following geometric Ramsey problem: find the least dimension $n$ such that for any 2-coloring of edges of complete graph on the points $\{\pm 1\}^n$ there exists 4-vertex coplanar monochromatic clique. Problem was first analyzed…
Building on the work of Miller et al. [Fibonacci Quarterly, 2022], we show that it is impossible to "walk to infinity" along the Fibonacci sequence in any integer base $b\geq 2$ when at most $N$ digits are appended per step. Our proof…
Let $s(n)$ be the number of different remainders $n \bmod k$, where $1 \leq k \leq \lfloor n/2 \rfloor$. This rather natural sequence is sequence A283190 in the OEIS and while some basic facts are known, it seems that surprisingly it has…
Recently Kauers, Koutschan and Spahn announced a significant increase in the length of the so-called {\em gerrymander sequence}, given as A348456 in the OEIS, extending the sequence from 3 terms to 7 terms. We give a further extension to 11…
We show transience of the edge-reinforced random walk (ERRW) for small reinforcement in dimension d greater than 2. This proves the existence of a phase transition between recurrent and transient behavior, thus solving an open problem…
The $r$-colour Ramsey number $R_r(k)$ is the minimum $n \in \mathbb{N}$ such that every $r$-colouring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ on $n$ vertices contains a monochromatic copy of $K_k$. We prove, for each fixed $r \geqslant 2$,…
Let \begin{equation*} S_{0}=0,\quad S_{n}=X_{1}+...+X_{n},\ n\geq 1, \end{equation*} be a random walk whose increments belong without centering to the domain of attraction of a stable law with scaling constants $a_{n}$, that provide…
We study the Shortest-Walk Problem (SWP) in a Graph of Convex Sets (GCS). A GCS is a graph where each vertex is paired with a convex program, and each edge couples adjacent programs via additional costs and constraints. A walk in a GCS is a…
We study continuous-time (variable speed) random walks in random environments on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\ge2$, where, at time $t$, the walk at $x$ jumps across edge $(x,y)$ at time-dependent rate $a_t(x,y)$. The rates, which we assume stationary…
A vicious walker system consists of N random walkers on a line with any two walkers annihilating each other upon meeting. We study a system of N vicious accelerating walkers with the velocity undergoing Gaussian fluctuations, as opposed to…
A graph $G$ is semilinear of complexity $t$ if the vertices of $G$ are elements of $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ for some $d\in\mathbb{Z}^{+}$, and the edges of $G$ are defined by the sign patterns of $t$ linear functions…
