We study the order statistics of a random walk (RW) of $n$ steps whose jumps are distributed according to symmetric Erlang densities $f_p(\eta)\sim |\eta|^p \,e^{-|\eta|}$, parametrized by a non-negative integer $p$. Our main focus is on…

The random order graph streaming model has received significant attention recently, with problems such as matching size estimation, component counting, and the evaluation of bounded degree constant query testable properties shown to admit…

We give a complete classification of scaling limits of randomly trapped random walks and associated clock processes on $\mathbb Z^d$, $d\ge 2$. Namely, under the hypothesis that the discrete skeleton of the randomly trapped random walk has…

This paper shows the convergence of adele-valued random walks to an adelic L\'evy process under scaling limits. We use random walks on the $p$-adic numbers to construct random walks initially on the infinite product space, and use survival…

We introduce the notion of a "random basic walk" on an infinite graph, give numerous examples, list potential applications, and provide detailed comparisons between the random basic walk and existing generalizations of simple random walks.…

Given a self-similar set $\Lambda$ that is the attractor of an iterated function system (IFS) $\{f_1,\dots,f_N\}$, consider the following method for constructing a random subset of $\Lambda$: Let $\mathbf{p}=(p_1,\dots,p_N)$ be a…

Let $(X, \cal B, \nu)$ be a probability space and let $\Gamma$ be a countable group of $\nu$-preserving invertible maps of $X$ into itself. To a probability measure $\mu$ on $\Gamma$ corresponds a random walk on $X$ with Markov operator $P$…

Let $\mathcal G$ be an infinite graph -- not necessarily one-ended -- on which the simple random walk is transient. We define a variant of the continuous-time random walk on $\mathcal G$ which reaches $\infty$ in finite time and "reflects…

In this work, we study the large deviation properties of random walk in a random environment on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d\geq1$. We start with the quenched case, take the point of view of the particle, and prove the large deviation principle…

Using the replica method, we develop an analytical approach to compute the characteristic function for the probability $\mathcal{P}_N(K,\lambda)$ that a large $N \times N$ adjacency matrix of sparse random graphs has $K$ eigenvalues below a…

We construct new examples of expander Cayley graphs of finite groups, arising as congruence quotients of non-elementary subgroups of $SL_2 (\mathbb{F}_p [t])$ modulo certain square-free ideals. We describe some applications of our results…

$M$-Lipschitz mappings of graphs (or equivalently graph-indexed random walks) are a generalization of standard random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$. For $M \in \N$, an \emph{$M$-Lipschitz mapping} of a connected rooted graph $G = (V,E)$ is a mapping…

Expanders are sparse graph that are strongly connected, where {\it connectivity} is quantified using eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix, and {\it sparsity} in terms of vertex valency. We give a model of random graphs and study their…

It is shown explicitly how self-similar graphs can be obtained as `blow-up' constructions of finite cell graphs $\hat C$. This yields a larger family of graphs than the graphs obtained by discretising continuous self-similar fractals. For a…
