We consider random walks on $\Z^8$ indexed by the infinite invariant tree, which consists of an infinite spine and finite random trees attached to it on both sides. We establish the precise order of the non-intersection probability between…
We study random walk among random conductance (RWRC) on complete graphs with N vertices. The conductances are i.i.d. and the sum of conductances emanating from a single vertex asymptotically has an infinitely divisible distribution…
We consider a one-dimensional, transient random walk in a random i.i.d. environment. The asymptotic behaviour of such random walk depends to a large extent on a crucial parameter $\kappa>0$ that determines the fluctuations of the process.…
We consider a specific random graph which serves as a disordered medium for a particle performing biased random walk. Take a two-sided infinite horizontal ladder and pick a random spanning tree with a certain edge weight $c$ for the…
We study a model of multi-excited random walk on a regular tree which generalizes the models of the once excited random walk and the digging random walk introduced by Volkov (2003). We show the existence of a phase transition of the…
In this paper, we rigorously establish the Gumbel-distributed fluctuations of the cover time, normalized by the mean first passage time, for finite-range, symmetric, irreducible random walks on a torus of dimension three or higher. This has…
We consider an analogue of the Kac random walk on the special orthogonal group $SO(N)$, in which at each step a random rotation is performed in a randomly chosen 2-plane of $\bR^N$. We obtain sharp asymptotics for the rate of convergence in…
Many regular graphs admit a natural partition of their edge set into cliques of the same order such that each vertex is contained in the same number of cliques. In this paper, we study the mixing rate of certain random walks on such graphs…
We present a deterministic algorithm that given a tree T with n vertices, a starting vertex v and a slackness parameter epsilon > 0, estimates within an additive error of epsilon the cover and return time, namely, the expected time it takes…
Given a finite-range random walk on a finitely generated free group , what is the asymptotic behaviour, as the number of steps goes to infinity, of the sequence of probabilities that the random walk is at a given element of the group? In…
In this article, we consider the number of collisions of three independent simple random walks on a subgraph of the two-dimensional square lattice obtained by removing all horizontal edges with vertical coordinate not equal to 0 and then,…
We study scattering quantum walks on highly symmetric graphs and use the walks to solve search problems on these graphs. The particle making the walk resides on the edges of the graph, and at each time step scatters at the vertices. All of…
In this paper we study convergence of random walks, on finite quantum groups, arising from linear combination of irreducible characters. We bound the distance to the Haar state and determine the asymptotic behavior, i.e. the limit state if…
We present a new probabilistic proof of Otter's asymptotic formula for the number of unlabelled trees with a given number of vertices. We additionally prove a new approximation result, showing that the total variation distance between…
We set the ground for a theory of quantum walks on graphs- the generalization of random walks on finite graphs to the quantum world. Such quantum walks do not converge to any stationary distribution, as they are unitary and reversible.…
We consider a discrete time simple symmetric random walk on Z^d, d>=1, where the path of the walk is perturbed by inserting deterministic jumps. We show that for any time n and any deterministic jumps that we insert, the expected number of…
We construct forests that span $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq2$, that are stationary and directed, and whose trees are infinite, but for which the subtrees attached to each vertex are as short as possible. For $d\geq3$, two independent copies of…
We consider a walker that at each step keeps the same direction with a probabilitythat depends on the time already spent in the direction the walker is currently moving. In this paper, we study some asymptotic properties of this persistent…
We consider a centered random walk with finite variance and investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the probability that the area under this walk remains positive up to a large time $n$. Assuming that the moment of order $2+\delta$ is…
Several inequalities are proved for the mixing time of discrete-time quantum walks on finite graphs. The mixing time is defined differently than in Aharonov, Ambainis, Kempe and Vazirani (2001) and it is found that for particular examples…
