Spatial patterns of competing random walkers
We review recent results obtained from simple individual-based models of biological competition in which birth and death rates of an organism depend on the presence of other competing organisms close to it. In addition the individuals perform random walks of different types (Gaussian diffusion and Lévy flights). We focus on how competition and random motions affect each other, from which spatia...
متن کاملMultivalent Random Walkers - A Model for Deoxyribozyme Walkers
We propose a stochastic model for molecular transport at the nanoscale that describes the motion of two-dimensional molecular assemblies called multivalent random walkers (MVRWs). This walker model is an abstract description of the motion of multipedal molecular assemblies, called molecular spiders, which use deoxyribozyme legs to move over a surface covered with substrate DNA molecules, cleavi...
متن کاملInhomogeneous ensembles of correlated random walkers
Discrete time random walks, in which a step of random sign but constant length δx is performed after each time interval δt, are widely used models for stochastic processes. In the case of a correlated random walk, the next step has the same sign as the previous one with a probability q 6= 1 2 . We extend this model to an inhomogeneous ensemble of random walkers with a given distribution of pers...
متن کاملExploration and trapping of mortal random walkers.
Exploration and trapping properties of random walkers that may evanesce at any time as they walk have seen very little treatment in the literature, and yet a finite lifetime is a frequent occurrence, and its effects on a number of random walk properties may be profound. For instance, whereas the average number of distinct sites visited by an immortal walker grows with time without bound, that o...
متن کاملGrammar-Based Random Walkers in Semantic Networks
Semantic networks qualify the meaning of an edge relating any two vertices. Determining which vertices are most “central” in a semantic network is difficult because one relationship type may be deemed subjectively more important than another. For this reason, research into semantic network metrics has focused primarily on context-based rankings (i.e. user prescribed contexts). Moreover, many of...
