We consider irreversible Markov chains on finite commutative rings randomly generated using both addition and multiplication. We restrict ourselves to the case where the addition is uniformly random and multiplication is arbitrary. We first…

A 1-2 model configuration is a subset of edges of a hexagonal lattice satisfying the constraint that each vertex is incident to 1 or 2 edges. We introduce Markov chains to sample the 1-2 model configurations on 2D hexagonal lattice and…

We consider Markovian models on graphs with local dynamics. We show that, under suitable conditions, such Markov chains exhibit both rapid convergence to equilibrium and strong concentration of measure in the stationary distribution. We…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. The hyper Zagreb index of $G$, denoted by $HM(G)$, is defined as $HM(G) =\sum\limits_{uv \in E(G)}\left[d_{G}(u)+d_G(v)\right]^{2}$ where $d_G(v)$ denotes the degree of a vertex $v$…

We develop a theory of weak Poincar\'e inequalities to characterize convergence rates of ergodic Markov chains. Motivated by the application of Markov chains in the context of algorithms, we develop a relevant set of tools which enable the…

The authors Mili$\breve{c}$evi$\acute{c}$ et al. introduced the reformulated Zagreb indices, which is a generalization of classical Zagreb indices of chemical graph theory. In the paper, we characterize the extremal properties of the first…

Let $\mathcal{CT}_{n,k}$ and $\mathcal{CT}^*_{n,b}$ be the classes of all $n$-vertex chemical trees with $k$ segments and $b$ branching vertices, respectively, where $3\le k\le n-1$ and $1\le b< \frac{n}{2}-1$. The solution of the problem…

Many types of topological indices such as degree-based topological indices, distance-based topological indices and counting related topological indices are explored during past recent years. Among degree based topological indices, Zagreb…

The Zagreb index of a hypergraph is defined as the sum of the squares of the degrees of its vertices. A connected $k$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges is called bicyclic if $n=m(k-1)-1$. In this paper, we determine the…

For a simple graph, we introduce a notion of the star sequence and prove that the star sequence and the frequently sequences of a graph are inverses of each other from a combinatorial point of view. As a consequence, we express the general…

These are the notes for the minicourse on Markov chains delivered at the Saint Petersburg Summer School, June 2012. The main emphasis is on methods for estimating mixing times (for finite chains) and escape rates (for infinite chains).…

In the paper [I. Gutman, N. Trinajsti\'c, Chem. Phys. Lett. 17 (1972), 535], it was shown that total $\pi$-electron energy ($E$) of a molecule $M$ depends on the quantity $\sum_{v\in V(G)}d_{v}^{2}$ (nowadays known as the "first Zagreb…

Motivated by techniques developed in recent progress on lower bounds for sublinear time algorithms (Behnezhad, Roghani and Rubinstein, STOC 2023, FOCS 2023, and STOC 2024) we introduce and study a new class of randomized algorithmic…

In this paper an original interacting particle system approach is developed for studying Markov chains in rare event regimes. The proposed particle system is theoretically studied through a genealogical tree interpretation of Feynman--Kac…

Let $D=(V,A)$ be a digraphs without isolated vertices. The first Zagreb index of a digraph $D$ defined as a summation over all arcs, $M_1(D)=\frac{1}{2}\sum\limits_{uv\in A}(d^{+}_{u}+d^{-}_v)$, where $d^{+}_u$(resp. $d^{-}_u$) denotes the…

This paper presents a simple algorithm to check whether reachability probabilities in parametric Markov chains are monotonic in (some of) the parameters. The idea is to construct - only using the graph structure of the Markov chain and…

In this paper, we study a notion of local stationarity for discrete time Markov chains which is useful for applications in statistics. In the spirit of some locally stationary processes introduced in the literature, we consider triangular…

We define a discrete-time Markov chain for abstract polymer models and show that under sufficient decay of the polymer weights, this chain mixes rapidly. We apply this Markov chain to polymer models derived from the hard-core and…

A rigorous and largely self-contained account of (a) the bread-and-butter concepts and techniques in Markov chain theory and (b) the long-term behaviour of chains. As much as possible, the treatment is probabilistic instead of analytical (I…
