On a transient weighted graph, there are two models of random walk which continue after reaching infinity: random interlacements, and random walk reflected off of infinity, recently introduced in arXiv:2506.18827 [math.PR]. We prove these…

We prove a scaling limit theorem for the simple random walk on critical lattice trees in $\mathbb{Z}^d$, for $d\geq 8$. The scaling limit is the Brownian motion on the Integrated Super-Brownian Excursion (BISE) which is the same one that we…

Random diffusions are a popular tool in Monte-Carlo estimations, with well established algorithms such as Walk-on-Spheres (WoS) going back several decades. In this work, we introduce diffusion estimators for the problems of angular…

We show that the edges crossed by a random walk in a network form a recurrent graph a.s. In fact, the same is true when those edges are weighted by the number of crossings.

We study the problem of sampling a uniformly random directed rooted spanning tree, also known as an arborescence, from a possibly weighted directed graph. Classically, this problem has long been known to be polynomial-time solvable; the…

Random walks constitute a fundamental mechanism for a large set of dynamics taking place on networks. In this article, we study random walks on weighted networks with an arbitrary degree distribution, where the weight of an edge between two…

We consider random walks in which the walk originates in one set of nodes and then continues until it reaches one or more nodes in a target set. The time required for the walk to reach the target set is of interest in understanding the…

Several authors have studied convergence in distribution to the Brownian web under diffusive scaling of Markovian random walks. In a paper by R. Roy, K. Saha and A. Sarkar, convergence to the Brownian web is proved for a system of…

We study the properties of discrete-time random walks on networks formed by randomly interconnected cliques, namely, random networks of cliques. Our purpose is to derive the parameters that define the network structure -- specifically, the…

We prove an explicit formula of hitting times in terms of enumerations of spanning trees for random walks on general connected graphs. We apply the formula to improve Lawler's bound of hitting times for general graphs, prove a sharp bound…

We consider random partitions of the vertex set of a given finite graph that can be sampled by means of loop-erased random walks stopped at a random exponential time of parameter $q>0$. The related random blocks tend to cluster nodes…

For $\lambda>0$, we define a $\lambda$-damped random walk to be a random walk that is started from a random vertex of a graph and stopped at each step with probability $\frac{\lambda}{1+\lambda}$, otherwise continued with probability…

Inspired by [4] we present a new algorithm for uniformly random generation of ordered trees in which all occuring outdegrees can be specified by a given sequence of numbers. The method can be used for random generation of binary or n-ary…
