In this paper, we investigate random walks in a family of small-world trees having an exponential degree distribution. First, we address a trapping problem, that is, a particular case of random walks with an immobile trap located at the…

We derive Donsker-Vardhan type results for functionals of the occupation times when the underlying random walk on $\mathbb Z^d$ is in the domain of attraction of an operator-stable law on $\mathbb R^d$. Applications to random walks on…

We present a Markov chain (Dikin walk) for sampling from a convex body equipped with a self-concordant barrier, whose mixing time from a "central point" is strongly polynomial in the description of the convex set. The mixing time of this…

In this paper we consider an excited random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$ in identically piled periodic environment. This is a discrete time process on $\mathbb{Z}$ defined by parameters $(p_1,\dots p_M) \in [0,1]^M$ for some positive integer $M$,…

For random walks on graph $\mathcal{G}$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the mean hitting time $H_j$ from a vertex chosen from the stationary distribution to vertex $j$ measures the importance for $j$, while the Kemeny constant…

We develop a general theory of random walks on hypergraphs which includes, as special cases, the different models that are found in literature. In particular, we introduce and analyze general random walk Laplacians for hypergraphs, and we…

We study the mean traversal time for a class of random walks on Newman-Watts small-world networks, in which steps around the edge of the network occur with a transition rate F that is different from the rate f for steps across small-world…

A switching random walk, commonly known under the misnomer `oscillating random walk', is a real-valued Markov chain whose distribution of increments is determined by the sign of the current position. We explicitly identify an invariant…

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 analyze continuous-time quantum walks on necklace graphs - cyclical graphs consisting of many copies of a smaller graph (pearl). Using a Bloch-type ansatz for the eigenfunctions, we block-diagonalize the Hamiltonian, reducing the…

We address the convergence rate of Markov chains for randomly generating an edge coloring of a given tree. Our focus is on the Glauber dynamics which updates the color at a randomly chosen edge in each step. For a tree $T$ with $n$ vertices…

We study rotor walks on transient graphs with initial rotor configuration sampled from the oriented wired uniform spanning forest (OWUSF) measure. We show that the expected number of visits to any vertex by the rotor walk is at most equal…

We consider a random walk in dimension $d\geq 1$ in a dynamic random environment evolving as an interchange process with rate $\gamma>0$. We only assume that the annealed drift is non-zero. We prove that the empirical velocity of the walker…

We present an adiabatic quantum algorithm for the abstract problem of searching marked vertices in a graph, or spatial search. Given a random walk (or Markov chain) $P$ on a graph with a set of unknown marked vertices, one can define a…

This article introduces a model for interacting vertex-reinforced random walks, each taking values on a complete sub-graph of a locally finite undirected graph. The transition probability for a walk to a given vertex depends on the…

We present an analytical approach to study simple symmetric random walks (RWs) on a crossing geometry consisting of a plane square lattice crossed by $n_l$ number of lines that all meet each other at a single point (the origin) on the…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group and $X$ its Cayley graph with respect to a finite, symmetric generating set $S$. Furthermore, let $H$ be a finite group and $H \wr G$ the lamplighter group (wreath product) over $G$ with group of…

We study symmetric random walks on finitely generated groups of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the real line. We establish an oscillation property for the induced Markov chain on the line that implies a weak form of recurrence.…

Random walks constitute a fundamental mechanism for a large set of dynamics taking place on networks. In this article, we study random walks on weighted networks with an arbitrary degree distribution, where the weight of an edge between two…

A discrete-time Markov chain can be transformed into a new Markov chain by looking at its states along iterations of an almost surely finite stopping time. By the optional stopping theorem, any bounded harmonic function with respect to the…
