We consider a model of long-range first-passage percolation on the $d$ dimensional square lattice $Z^d$ in which any two distinct vertices $x, y \in Z^d$ are connected by an edge having exponentially distributed passage time with mean…
Equip the edges of the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with i.i.d. random capacities. A law of large numbers is known for the maximal flow crossing a rectangle in $\mathbb{R}^2$ when the side lengths of the rectangle go to infinity. We prove that…
We study first passage percolation on the configuration model. Assuming that each edge has an independent exponentially distributed edge weight, we derive explicit distributional asymptotics for the minimum weight between two randomly…
First-passage percolation is the study of the metric space $(\mathbb{Z}^d,T)$, where $T$ is a random metric defined as the weighted graph metric using random edge-weights $(t_e)_{e\in \mathcal{E}^d}$ assigned to the nearest-neighbor edges…
We consider directed first-passage and last-passage percolation on the nonnegative lattice Z_+^d, d\geq2, with i.i.d. weights at the vertices. Under certain moment conditions on the common distribution of the weights, the limits…
Consider the first passage percolation model on ${\bf Z}^d$ for $d\geq 2$. In this model we assign independently to each edge the value zero with probability $p$ and the value one with probability $1-p$. We denote by $T({\bf 0}, v)$ the…
In first-passage percolation, one places nonnegative i.i.d. random variables (T (e)) on the edges of Z d. A geodesic is an optimal path for the passage times T (e). Consider a local property of the time environment. We call it a pattern. We…
It is an open problem to show that in two-dimensional first-passage percolation, the sequence of finite geodesics from any point to $(n,0)$ has a limit in $n$. In this paper, we consider this question for first-passage percolation on a wide…
We study first-passage percolation (FPP) on the square lattice. The model is defined using i.i.d. nonnegative random edge-weights $(t_e)$ associated to the nearest neighbor edges of $\mathbb{Z}^2$. The passage time between vertices $x$ and…
Percolation with edge-passage probability p and first-passage percolation are studied for the n-cube B_n ={0,1}^n with nearest neighbor edges. For oriented and unoriented percolation, p=e/n and p=1/n are the respective critical…
The Newman-Watts model is given by taking a cycle graph of n vertices and then adding each possible edge $(i,j), |i-j|\neq 1 \mod n$ with probability $\rho/n$ for some $\rho>0$ constant. In this paper we add i.i.d. exponential edge weights…
We introduce a new first passage percolation model in a Poissonian environment on $\mathbb{R}^{2}$. In this model, the action of a path depends on the geometry of the path and the travel time. We prove that the transversal fluctuation…
In one and two dimensions, the first-passage time for a diffusing particle in the presence of a radial potential flow to hit a sphere, conditioned on actually hitting the sphere, is independent of the sign of the drift. Moreover, the…
This paper concerns a random walk that moves on the integer lattice and has zero mean and a finite variance. We obtain first an asymptotic estimate of the transition probability of the walk absorbed at the origin, and then, using the…
We consider Bernoulli first-passage percolation on the $d$-dimensional hypercubic lattice with $d \geq 2$. The passage time of edge $e$ is $0$ with probability $p$ and $1$ with probability $1-p$, independently of each other. Let $p_c$ be…
Let $\{X(v), v \in \Bbb Z^d \times \Bbb Z_+\}$ be an i.i.d. family of random variables such that $P\{X(v)= e^b\}=1-P\{X(v)= 1\} = p$ for some $b>0$. We consider paths $\pi \subset \Bbb Z^d \times \Bbb Z_+$ starting at the origin and with…
The time it takes a random walker in a lattice to reach the origin from another vertex $x$, has infinite mean. If the walker can restart the walk at $x$ at will, then the minimum expected hitting time $T(x,0)$ (minimized over restarting…
We study a version of first passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ where the random passage times on the edges are replaced by contact times represented by random closed sets on $\mathbb{R}$. Similarly to the contact process without…
We consider a last-passage directed percolation model in $Z_+^2$, with i.i.d. weights whose common distribution has a finite $(2+p)$th moment. We study the fluctuations of the passage time from the origin to the point $\big(n,n^{\lfloor a…
In directed last passage site percolation with i.i.d.~random weights with finite support over a $n\times\lfloor n^{\alpha}\rfloor$ grid, we prove that for $n$ large enough, the order of the $r$-th central moment, $1\le r<+\infty$, of the…
