We study coupled random walks in the plane such that, at each step, the walks change direction by a uniform random angle plus an extra deterministic angle \theta. We compute the Hausdorff dimension of the \theta for which the walk has an…

We study the random walk $X$ on the range of a simple random walk on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ in dimensions $d\geq 4$. When $d\geq 5$ we establish quenched and annealed scaling limits for the process $X$, which show that the intersections of the…

A random walk problem with particles on discrete double infinite linear grids is discussed. The model is based on the work of Montroll and others. A probability connected with the problem is given in the form of integrals containing…

Random walks on networks are widely used to model stochastic processes such as search strategies, transportation problems or disease propagation. A prominent example of such process is the guiding of naive T cells by the lymph node conduits…

The dimension of random simplicial complexes (defined as the maximal dimension among all faces) is a natural extreme value associated with the complex, and is closely related to other functionals defined by a maximum, such as the clique…

Suppose that the vertices of the Euclidean lattice Z^d are endowed with a random scenery, obtained by tossing a fair coin at each vertex. A random walker, starting from the origin, replaces the coins along its path by i.i.d. biased coins.…

We study, in d-dimensions, the random walker with geometrically shrinking step sizes at each hop. We emphasize the integrated quantities such as expectation values, cumulants and moments rather than a direct study of the probability…

The study of matter fields on an ensemble of random geometries is a difficult problem still in need of new methods and ideas. We will follow a point of view inspired by probability theory techniques that relies on an expansion of the two…

Complex networks are characterized by latent geometries induced by their topology or by the dynamics on the top of them. In the latter case, different network-driven processes induce distinct geometric features that can be captured by…

Our goal is to quickly find top $k$ lists of nodes with the largest degrees in large complex networks. If the adjacency list of the network is known (not often the case in complex networks), a deterministic algorithm to find a node with the…

This paper introduces nondeterministic walks, a new variant of one-dimensional discrete walks. The main difference to classical walks is that its nondeterministic steps consist of sets of steps from a predefined set such that all possible…

We propose local-biased random walks on general networks where a Markovian walker can choose between different types of biases in each node to define transitions to its neighbors depending on their degrees. For this ergodic dynamics, we…
