We analyze the evolution of the local simulation times (LST) in Parallel Discrete Event Simulations. The new ingredients introduced are i) we associate the LST with the nodes and not with the processing elements, and 2) we propose to…

The problem of a restricted random walk on graphs which keeps track of the number of immediate reversal steps is considered by using a transfer matrix formulation. A closed-form expression is obtained for the generating function of the…

For a connected graph, a path containing all vertices is known as \emph{Hamiltonian path}. For general graphs, there is no known necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of Hamiltonian paths and the complexity of finding a…

Quantum particle simulations have largely been based on time-independent, split-operator schemes in which kinetic and potential operators are interwoven to provide accurate approximations to system dynamics. These simulations can be very…

Random walks are used for modeling various dynamics in, for example, physical, biological, and social contexts. Furthermore, their characteristics provide us with useful information on the phase transition and critical phenomena of even…

An obstacle representation of a graph $G$ is a set of points in the plane representing the vertices of $G$, together with a set of polygonal obstacles such that two vertices of $G$ are connected by an edge in $G$ if and only if the line…

Previous work has shown the effectiveness of random walk hitting times as a measure of dissimilarity in a variety of graph-based learning problems such as collaborative filtering, query suggestion or finding paraphrases. However,…

Approximate agreement is one of the few variants of consensus that can be solved in a wait-free manner in asynchronous systems where processes communicate by reading and writing to shared memory. In this work, we consider a natural…

We describe methods to construct digital quantum simulation algorithms for quantum spin systems on a regular lattice with local interactions. In addition to tools such as the Trotter-Suzuki expansion and graph coloring, we also discuss the…

The pivot algorithm for self-avoiding walks has been implemented in a manner which is dramatically faster than previous implementations, enabling extremely long walks to be efficiently simulated. We explicitly describe the data structures…

A discrete time quantum walk is known to be the single-particle sector of a quantum cellular automaton. For a long time, these models have interested the community for their nice properties such as locality or translation invariance. This…

Various graph algorithms have been developed with multiple random walks, the movement of several independent random walkers on a graph. Designing an efficient graph algorithm based on multiple random walks requires investigating multiple…

Decoupling the interactions in a spin network governed by a pair-interaction Hamiltonian is a well-studied problem. Combinatorial schemes for decoupling and for manipulating the couplings of Hamiltonians have been developed which use…

Graph processing is an increasingly important domain of computer science, with applications in data and network analysis, among others. Target graphs in these applications are often large, leading to the creation of "big data" systems…

Human-robot interactions (HRI) can be modeled as dynamic or differential games with incomplete information, where each agent holds private reward parameters. Due to the open challenge in finding perfect Bayesian equilibria of such games,…

We study how few pairwise distinct longest cycles a regular graph can have under additional constraints. For each integer $r \geq 5$, we give exponential improvements for the best asymptotic upper bounds for this invariant under the…

Finding Hamitonian Cycles in square grid graphs is a well studied and important questions. More recent work has extended these results to triangular and hexagonal grids, as well as further restricted versions. In this paper, we examine a…

A continuous-time quantum walk on a dynamic graph evolves by Schr\"odinger's equation with a sequence of Hamiltonians encoding the edges of the graph. This process is universal for quantum computing, but in general, the dynamic graph that…

We introduce a simple framework for estimating lower bounds on the runtime of a broad class of adiabatic quantum algorithms. The central formula consists of calculating the variance of the final Hamiltonian with respect to the initial…

Motivated by experimental limitations commonly met in the design of solid state quantum computers, we study the problems of non-local Hamiltonian simulation and non-local gate synthesis when only homogeneous local unitaries are performed in…
