We study the asymptotic behavior of the simple random walk on oriented versions of $\mathbb{Z}^2$. The considered lattices are not directed on the vertical axis but unidirectional on the horizontal one, with random orientations whose…
We consider the enumeration of walks on the non-negative lattice $\mathbb{N}^d$, with steps defined by a set $\mathcal{S} \subset \{-1, 0, 1\}^d \setminus \{\mathbf{0}\}$. Previous work in this area has established asymptotics for the…
We formulate three current models of discrete-time quantum walks in a combinatorial way. These walks are shown to be closely related to rotation systems and 1-factorizations of graphs. For two of the models, we compute the traces and total…
We study the scaling limits of three different aggregation models on the integer lattice Z^d: internal DLA, in which particles perform random walks until reaching an unoccupied site; the rotor-router model, in which particles perform…
We consider a self-avoiding walk model (SAW) on the faces of the square lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$. This walk can traverse the same face twice, but crosses any edge at most once. The weight of a walk is a product of local weights: each square…
Inspired by a new mathematical model for bobbin lace, this paper considers finite lattice paths formed from the set of step vectors $\mathfrak{A}=$$\{\rightarrow,$ $\nearrow,$ $\searrow,$ $\uparrow,$ $\downarrow\}$ with the restriction that…
The question of classifying the nature of the generating functions of restricted lattice walks has enjoyed much attention in past years. We prove that a certain class of octant walks have a D-finite generating function using the theory of…
Quantum walks, the quantum counterpart of classical random walks, are extensively studied for their applications in mathematics, quantum physics, and quantum information science. This study explores the periods and absolute zeta functions…
In this paper we explore the asymptotic enumeration of three-dimensional excursions confined to the positive octant. As shown in [29], both the exponential growth and the critical exponent admit universal formulas, respectively in terms of…
We survey recent results on some one- and two-dimensional patterns generated by random permutations of natural numbers. In the first part, we discuss properties of random walks, evolving on a one-dimensional regular lattice in discrete time…
We study a discrete random walk on a one-dimensional finite lattice, where each state has different probabilities to move one step forward, backward, staying for a moment or being absorbed. We obtain expected number of arrivals and expected…
We study quantum walk on a ladder with combination of conventional and split-step protocols. The two components of the walk resulting from periodic boundary conditions can be made to have three kinds of probability distributions. Two of…
We study the two-point functions of a general class of random-length random walks on finite boxes in $\ZZ^d$ with $d\ge3$, and provide precise asymptotics for their behaviour. We show that the finite-box two-point function is asymptotic to…
We provide the exact generating function for semi-flexible and super-flexible interacting partially directed walks and also analyse the solution in detail. We demonstrate that while fully flexible walks have a collapse transition that is…
In the present paper, we use difference Galois theory to study the nature of the generating function counting walks with small steps in the quarter plane. These series are trivariate formal power series $Q(x,y,t)$ that count the number of…
We define and study a class of subshifts of finite type (SFTs) defined by a family of allowed patterns of the same shape where, for any contents of the shape minus a corner, the number of ways to fill in the corner is the same. The main…
We study the path behaviour of a simple random walk on the 2-dimensional comb lattice ${\mathbb C}^2$ that is obtained from ${\mathbb Z}^2$ by removing all horizontal edges off the x-axis. In particular, we prove a strong approximation…
We describe a new algorithm for the enumeration of self-avoiding walks on the square lattice. Using up to 128 processors on a HP Alpha server cluster we have enumerated the number of self-avoiding walks on the square lattice to length 71.…
In a \emph{rotor walk} the exits from each vertex follow a prescribed periodic sequence. On an infinite Eulerian graph embedded periodically in $\R^d$, we show that any simple rotor walk, regardless of rotor mechanism or initial rotor…
Prudent walks are special self-avoiding walks that never take a step towards an already occupied site, and \emph{$k$-sided prudent walks} (with $k=1,2,3,4$) are, in essence, only allowed to grow along $k$ directions. Prudent polygons are…
