We consider the simple random walk on the infinite cluster of the Bernoulli bond percolation of trees, and investigate the relation between the speed of the simple random walk and the retaining probability p by studying three classes of…

Accessibility percolation is a new type of percolation problem inspired by evolutionary biology. To each vertex of a graph a random number is assigned and a path through the graph is called accessible if all numbers along the path are in…

Levy walk (LW) process has been used as a simple model for describing anomalous diffusion in which the mean squared displacement of the walker grows non-linearly with time in contrast to the diffusive motion described by simple random walks…

We consider branching random walks and contact processes on infinite, connected, locally finite graphs whose reproduction and infectivity rates across edges are inversely proportional to vertex degree. We show that when the ambient graph is…

We propose a random walks based model to generate complex networks. Many authors studied and developed different methods and tools to analyze complex networks by random walk processes. Just to cite a few, random walks have been adopted to…

Binary trees are fundamental objects in models of evolutionary biology and population genetics. Here, we discuss some of their combinatorial and structural properties as they depend on the tree class considered. Furthermore, the process by…

We investigate the dynamics of random walks on weighted networks. Assuming that the edge's weight and the node's strength are used as local information by a random walker, we study two kinds of walks, weight-dependent walk and…

By decomposing the random walk path, we construct a multitype branching process with immigration in random environment for corresponding random walk with bounded jumps in random environment. Then we give two applications of the branching…

We consider random walks on a tree $G=(V,E)$ with stationary distribution $\pi_v = \mathrm{deg}(v)/2|E|$ for $v \in V$. Let the hitting time $H(v,w)$ denote the expected number of steps required for the random walk started at vertex $v$ to…
