Non-hermitian, $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonians, experimentally realized in optical systems, accurately model the properties of open, bosonic systems with balanced, spatially separated gain and loss. We present a family of exactly…
For a connected graph, a path containing all vertices is known as \emph{Hamiltonian path}. For general graphs, there is no known necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of Hamiltonian paths and the complexity of finding a…
Modeling of polymer chains has received a lot of attention in mathematics. In fact, probabilistic models that naturally arise in statistical mechanics have been widely studied by mathematicians for the very challenging and novel problems…
We study random walks on the integers driven by a sample of time-dependent nearest-neighbor conductances that are bounded but are permitted to vanish over time intervals of positive Lebesgue-length. Assuming only ergodicity of the…
We show that in positive characteristic the homogeneous probability measure supported on a periodic orbit of the diagonal group in the space of 2-lattices, when varied along rays of Hecke trees, may behave in sharp contrast to the zero…
Any homogeneous harmonic polynomial can be decomposed as a sum of powers of isotropic linear forms, that is, linear forms whose coefficients are the coordinates of isotropic points. The minimum size of such decompositions for a harmonic…
We show that, for planar point sets, the number of non-crossing Hamiltonian paths is polynomially bounded in the number of non-crossing paths, and the number of non-crossing Hamiltonian cycles (polygonalizations) is polynomially bounded in…
In random walk theory, it is customary to assume that a given walk is irreducible and/or aperiodic. While these prevailing assumptions make particularly tractable the analysis of random walks and help to highlight their diffusive nature,…
Well-rounded lattices have been a topic of recent studies with applications in wiretap channels and in cryptography. A lattice of full rank in Euclidean space is called well-rounded if its set of minimal vectors spans the whole space. In…
In this paper we develop the idea of Lyons and gives a simple criterion for the recurrence and the transience. We also show that a wedge has the infinite collision property if and only if it is a recurrent graph.
We study a random walk in random environment on the non-negative integers. The random environment is not homogeneous in law, but is a mixture of two kinds of site, one in asymptotically vanishing proportion. The two kinds of site are (i)…
A closed convex polytope in n dimensions defined by m linear inequality constraints is considered. If L is a straight line drawn in any direction from any feasible point P, then in general, it intersects every constraint at one point,…
In the context of countable groups of polynomial volume growth, we consider a large class of random walks that are allowed to take long jumps along multiple subgroups according to power law distributions. For such a random walk, we study…
On an $r\times (n-r)$ lattice rectangle, we first consider walks that begin at the SW corner, proceed with unit steps in either of the directions E or N, and terminate at the NE corner of the rectangle. For each integer $k$ we ask for…
It is shown that the orthogonal polynomials, corresponding to the oscillatory weight $e^{\im\omega x}$, exists if $\omega$ is a transcendental number and $\tan\omega/\omega\in\Q$. Also, it is proved that such orthogonal polynomials exist…
For a harmonic function on a tree with random walk whose transition probabilities are bounded between two constants in (0,1/2), it is known that the radial and stochastic properties of convergence, boundedness and finiteness of energy are…
In this paper, we study the problem of finding the probability that the two-dimensional (biased) monotonic random walk crosses the line $y=\alpha x+d$, where $\alpha,d \geq 0$. A $\beta$-biased monotonic random walk moves from $(a,b)$ to…
In this paper, we investigate the distribution of $k$-free numbers in a class of $\alpha$-random walks on the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}$. In these walks, the walker starts from a non-negative integer $r$ and moves to the right by $a$…
We describe the statistical properties of the dynamics of the quadratic polynomials P_a(z):=e^{2\pi a i} z+z^2 on the complex plane, with a of high return times. In particular, we show that these maps are uniquely ergodic on their measure…
First a formula for the number of zeros of the orthogonal polynomial in the intervals is presented. Then a criteria about the appearance of a zero in a gap is given. Finally a necessary and sufficient condition is derived such that the…
