In the first part of this paper, we enumerate exactly walks on the square lattice that start from the origin, but otherwise avoid the non positive horizontal half-axis. We call them "walks on the slit plane". We count them by their length,…

The special limit of the totally asymmetric zero range process of the low-dimensional non-equilibrium statistical mechanics described by the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian is considered. The calculation of the conditional probabilities of the…

A recently developed model of random walks on a $D$-dimensional hyperspherical lattice, where $D$ is {\sl not} restricted to integer values, is extended to include the possibility of creating and annihilating random walkers. Steady-state…

We define a class a metric spaces we call Brownian surfaces, arising as the scaling limits of random maps on general orientable surfaces with a boundary and we study the geodesics from a uniformly chosen random point. These metric spaces…

The Morse-Smale complex of a function $f$ decomposes the sample space into cells where $f$ is increasing or decreasing. When applied to nonparametric density estimation and regression, it provides a way to represent, visualize, and compare…

A number of papers have examined various aspects of "random random" walks on finite groups; the purpose of this article is to provide a survey of this work and to show, bring together, and discuss some of the arguments and results in this…

It is well known that the behaviour of a branching process is completely described by the generating function of the offspring law and its fixed points. Branching random walks are a natural generalization of branching processes: a branching…

The aim of this study is to examine some numerical tests of Pade approximation for some typical functions with singularities such as simple pole, essential singularity, brunch cut and natural boundary. As pointed out by Baker, it was shown…

We consider random walks in dynamic random environments and propose a criterion which, if satisfied, allows to decompose the random walk trajectory into i.i.d. increments, and ultimately to prove limit theorems. The criterion involves the…

We consider the biased random walk on a tree constructed from the set of finite self-avoiding walks on a lattice, and use it to construct probability measures on infinite self-avoiding walks. The limit measure (if it exists) obtained when…

Numerical estimates are given for the spectral radius of simple random walks on Cayley graphs. Emphasis is on the case of the fundamental group of a closed surface, for the usual system of generators.

The conformal parameterisation of a minimal surface is harmonic. Therefore, a minimal surface is a critical point of both the energy functional and the area functional. In this paper, we compare the Morse index of a minimal surface as a…

The distribution of the number of points of the closed simple random walk, visited a given number of times (the k-multiple point range) is analysed by a graph based approach. A general expression for the moments is derived. In this paper…

We show that in a metric space, any continuous function with compact sublevel sets and finite metric slope is uniquely determined by the slope and its critical values.

A Morse 2-function is a generic smooth map from a smooth manifold to a surface. In the absence of definite folds (in which case we say that the Morse 2-function is indefinite), these are natural generalizations of broken (Lefschetz)…
