We study the optimization of navigational graph queries, i.e., queries which combine recursive and pattern-matching fragments. Current approaches to their evaluation are not effective in practice. Towards addressing this, we present a…

We study the $k$-Canadian Traveller Problem, where a weighted graph $G=(V,E,\omega)$ with a source $s\in V$ and a target $t\in V$ are given. This problem also has a hidden input $E_* \subsetneq E$ of cardinality at most $k$ representing…

We propose a novel Bayesian methodology which uses random walks for rapid inference of statistical properties of undirected networks with weighted or unweighted edges. Our formalism yields high-accuracy estimates of the probability…

The quantum walk dynamics obey the laws of quantum mechanics with an extra locality constraint, which demands that the evolution operator is local in the sense that the walker must visit the neighboring locations before endeavoring to…

We consider the problem of traveling among random points in Euclidean space, when only a random fraction of the pairs are joined by traversable connections. In particular, we show a threshold for a pair of points to be connected by a…
