We obtain expected number of arrivals, absorption probabilities and expected time until absorption for an asymmetric discrete random walk on a graph in the presence of multiple function barriers. On each edge of the graph and in each vertex…

In this note, we compute the probability that a two-dimensional symmetric random walk visits more vertices than expected, for deviations on scales between the mean behavior and linear growth.

We define the Uniform Random Walk (URW) on a connected, locally finite graph as the weak limit of the uniform walk of length $n$ starting at a fixed vertex. When the limit exists, it is necessarily Markovian and is independent of 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…

For a one-dimensional simple symmetric random walk $(S_n)$, an edge $x$ (between points $x-1$ and $x$) is called a favorite edge at time $n$ if its local time at $n$ achieves the maximum among all edges. In this paper, we show that with…

The scaling properties of a random walker subject to the global constraint that it needs to visit each site an even number of times are determined. Such walks are realized in the equilibrium state of one dimensional surfaces that are…

We consider the two-opinion voter model on a regular random graph with n vertices and degree $d \geq 3$. It is known that consensus is reached on time scale n and that on this time scale the volume of the set of vertices with one opinion…

We study a variant of the down-up and up-down walks over an $n$-partite simplicial complex, which we call expanderized higher order random walks -- where the sequence of updated coordinates correspond to the sequence of vertices visited by…

We study graph-theoretic properties of the trace of a random walk on a random graph. We show that for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists $C>1$ such that the trace of the simple random walk of length $(1+\varepsilon)n\ln{n}$ on the random…

Consider two random walks on $\mathbb{Z}$. The transition probabilities of each walk is dependent on trajectory of the other walker i.e. a drift $p>1/2$ is obtained in a position the other walker visited twice or more. This simple model has…

We study the limit behaviour of a class of random walk models taking values in the $d$-dimensional unit standard simplex, $d\ge 1$, defined as follows. From an interior point $z$, the process chooses one of the $d+1$ vertices of the…

Let (Z_n)_{n\in\N_0} be a d-dimensional random walk in random scenery, i.e., Z_n=\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}Y_{S_k} with (S_k)_{k\in\N_0} a random walk in Z^d and (Y_z)_{z\in Z^d} an i.i.d. scenery, independent of the walk. We assume that the random…

We consider a discrete-time random walk on the nodes of an unbounded hexagonal lattice. We determine the probability generating functions, the transition probabilities and the relevant moments. The convergence of the stochastic process to a…

We develop a framework to determine the complete statistical behavior of a fundamental quantity in the theory of random walks, namely, the probability that $n_1$, $n_2$, $n_3$, . . . distinct sites are visited at times $t_1$, $t_2$, $t_3$,…

Maximization of the entropy rate is an important issue to design diffusion processes aiming at a well-mixed state. We demonstrate that it is possible to construct maximal-entropy random walks with only local information on the graph…

We derive an exact closed-form analytical expression for the distribution of the cover time for a random walk over an arbitrary graph. In special case, we derive simplified exact expressions for the distributions of cover time for a…

Let $\sigma$ be a permutation of $\{0,\ldots,n\}$. We consider the Markov chain $X$ which jumps from $k\neq 0,n$ to $\sigma(k+1)$ or $\sigma(k-1)$, equally likely. When $X$ is at 0 it jumps to either $\sigma(0)$ or $\sigma(1)$ equally…

Random walks of n steps taken into independent uniformly random directions in a d-dimensional Euclidean space (d larger than 1), are named Dirichlet when their step lengths are distributed according to a Dirichlet law. The latter continuous…

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 study one-dimensional discrete as well as continuous time random walks, either with a fixed number of steps (for discrete time) $n$ or on a fixed time interval $T$ (for continuous time). In both cases, we focus on symmetric probability…
