We consider the operator associated to a random walk on finite volume surfaces with hyperbolic cusps. We study the spectral gap (upper and lower bound) associated to this operator and deduce some rate of convergence of the iterated kernel…

Consider a collaborative dynamic of $k$ independent random walks on a finite connected graph $G$. We are interested in the size of the set of vertices visited by at least one walker and study how the number of walkers relates to the…

We consider directed weighted graphs and define various families of path counting functions. Our main results are explicit formulas for the main term of the asymptotic growth rate of these counting functions, under some irrationality…

The $k$-th power of the adjacency matrix of a simple undirected graph represents the number of walks with length $k$ between pairs of nodes. As a walk where no node repeats, a path is a walk where each node is only visited once. The set of…

The spectral analogue of the Tur\'{a}n type problem for hypergraphs is to determine the maximum spectral radius for the hypergraphs of order $n$ that do not contain a given hypergraph. For the hypergraphs among the set of the connected…

We show that for a uniformly irreducible random walk on a graph, with bounded range, there is a Floyd function for which the random walk converges to its corresponding Floyd boundary. Moreover if we add the assumptions, $p^{(n)}(v,w)\leq C…

Let $D$ be an oriented graph with skew adjacency matrix $S(D)$. Two oriented graphs $D$ and $C$ are said to share the same generalized skew spectrum if $S(D)$ and $S(C)$ have the same eigenvalues, and $J-S(D)$ and $J-S(C)$ also have the…

A short proof of the equivalence of the recurrence of non-backtracking random walk and that of simple random walk on regular infinite graphs is given. It is then shown how this proof can be extended in certain cases where the graph in…

Signed graphs are graphs whose edges get a sign $+1$ or $-1$ (the signature). Signed graphs can be studied by means of graph matrices extended to signed graphs in a natural way. Recently, the spectra of signed graphs have attracted much…

We study the limit theory of large threshold graphs and apply this to a variety of models for random threshold graphs. The results give a nice set of examples for the emerging theory of graph limits.

The spectral properties of traditional (dyadic) graphs, where an edge connects exactly two vertices, are widely studied in different applications. These spectral properties are closely connected to the structural properties of dyadic…

In 1970 Nosal gave upper and lower bounds on the sum of the spectral radii of a graph and its complement. We generalize this problem to other eigenvalues and give a number of bounds. We essentially solve the corresponding problem for the…

Random walks on graphs are an essential primitive for many randomised algorithms and stochastic processes. It is natural to ask how much can be gained by running $k$ multiple random walks independently and in parallel. Although the cover…

We introduce a cover time problem for random walks on dynamic graphs in which the graph expands in time and the walker moves at random times. Time to cover all nodes and number of returns to original states are analyzed in resulting model.
