Discrete Random Walks on One-Sided "Periodic" Graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we consider discrete random walks on infinite graphs that are generated by copying and shifting one finite (strongly connected) graph into one direction and connecting successive copies always in the same way. With help of generating functions it is shown that there are only three types for the asymptotic behaviour of the random walk. It either converges to the stationary distribution or it can be approximated in terms of a reflected Brownian motion or by a Brownian motion.

Random Walks on Periodic Graphs
This paper concerns random walks on periodic graphs embedded in the d-dimensional Euclidian space Rd and obtains asymptotic expansions of the Green functions of them up to the second order term, which, expressed fairly explicitly, are easily computable for many examples. The result is used to derive an asymptotic form of the hitting distribution of a hyperplane of codimension one, which involve...
متن کاملDiscrete-time random walks on diagrams (graphs) with cycles.
After a review of the diagram method for continuous-time random walks on graphs with cycles, the method is extended to discrete-time random walks. The basic theorems carry over formally from continuous time to discrete time. Three problems in tennis probabilities are used to illustrate random walks on discrete-time diagrams with cycles.
متن کاملPeriodic Walks on Large Regular Graphs and Random Matrix Theory
We study the distribution of the number of (non-backtracking) periodic walks on large regular graphs. We propose a formula for the ratio between the variance of the number of t-periodic walks and its mean, when the cardinality of the vertex set V and the period t approach ∞ with t/V → τ for any τ . This formula is based on the conjecture that the spectral statistics of the adjacency eigenvalues...

متن کاملOn coalescence time in graphs-When is coalescing as fast as meeting?
Coalescing random walks is a fundamental stochastic process, where a set of particles perform independent discrete-time random walks on an undirected graph. Whenever two or more particles meet at a given node, they merge and continue as a single random walk. The coalescence time is defined as the expected time until only one particle remains, starting from one particle at every node. Despite re...
