In this work, we characterise the statistics of Markov chains by constructing an associated sequence of periodic differential operators. Studying the density of states of these operators reveals the absolutely continuous invariant measure…
This note provides several recent progresses in the study of long time behavior of Markov processes. The examples presented below are related to other scientific fields as PDE's, physics or biology. The involved mathematical tools as…
Markov chains are used to give a purely probabilistic way of understanding the conjugacy classes of the finite symplectic and orthogonal groups in odd characteristic. As a corollary of these methods one obtains a probabilistic proof of…
We prove that the Markov operator associated to an iterated function system consisting of phi-max-contractions with probabilities has a unique invariant measure whose support is the attractor of the system.
A function on the state space of a Markov chain is a "lumping" if observing only the function values gives a Markov chain. We give very general conditions for lumpings of a large class of algebraically-defined Markov chains, which include…
There have been extensive studies of a random walk among a field of immobile traps (or obstacles), where one is interested in the probability of survival as well as the law of the random walk conditioned on its survival up to time $t$. In…
We introduce a Markov product structure for multivariate tail dependence functions, building upon the well-known Markov product for copulas. We investigate algebraic and monotonicity properties of this new product as well as its role in…
We propose a one parameter family of random walk processes on hypergraphs, where a parameter biases the dynamics of the walker towards hyperedges of low or high cardinality. We show that for each value of the parameter the resulting process…
The present paper deals with a generalization of the Baskakov operators. Some direct theorems, asymptotic formula and $A$-statistical convergence are established. Our results are based on a $\rho$ function. These results include the…
We present an intuitive, conceptual, but semi-rigorous introduction to the celebrated Markov Chain Monte Carlo method using a simple model of population dynamics as our motivation and focusing on a few elementary distributions.…
Random walks on graphs are widely used in all sciences to describe a great variety of phenomena where dynamical random processes are affected by topology. In recent years, relevant mathematical results have been obtained in this field, and…
Let X_1,X_2,... be independent identically distributed random elements of a compact group G. We discuss the speed of convergence of the law of the product X_l*...*X_1 to the Haar measure. We give poly-log estimates for certain finite groups…
Random walks in cones have the double interest of being at the heart of many probabilistic problems and of being related to many mathematical fields, such as spectral theory, combinatorics, or discrete complex analysis. In this article, we…
This brief article gives an overview of quantum mechanics as a {\em quantum probability theory}. It begins with a review of the basic operator-algebraic elements that connect probability theory with quantum probability theory. Then quantum…
1. Understanding how to find targets with very limited information is a topic of interest in many disciplines. In ecology, such research has often focused on the development of two movement models: i) the L\'evy walk and; ii) the composite…
Squaring and adding $\pm 1$ mod p generates a curiously intractable random walk. A similar process over the finite field $\mathbf{F}_q$ (with $q=2^d$) leads to novel connections between elementary Galois theory and probability.
In this paper we investigate generalizations of Kazhdan's property $(T)$ to the setting of uniformly convex Banach spaces. We explain the interplay between the existence of spectral gaps and that of Kazhdan projections. Our methods employ…
The first general analytic solutions for the one-dimensional walk in position and momentum space are derived. These solutions reveal, among other things, new symmetry features of quantum walk probability densities and further insight into…
In this paper, we explore different Markovian random walk strategies on networks with transition probabilities between nodes defined in terms of functions of the Laplacian matrix. We generalize random walk strategies with local information…
We propose an experimental mathematics approach leading to the computer-driven discovery of various structural properties of general counting functions coming from enumeration of walks.
