Random Walks on

چکیده

We introduce two new techniques to the analysis on fractals. One is based on the presentation of the fractal as the boundary of a countable Gromov hyperbolic graph, whereas the other one consists in taking all possible \backward" extensions of the above hyperbolic graph and considering them as the classes of a discrete equivalence relation on an appropriate compact space. Illustrating these techniques on the example of the Sierpi nski gasket (the associated hyperbolic graph is called the Sierpi nski graph), we show that the Sierpi nski gasket can be identiied with the Martin and the Poisson boundaries for fairly general classes of Markov chains on the Sierpi nski graph.

A PRELUDE TO THE THEORY OF RANDOM WALKS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS

A random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. When the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (RWRE). The basic questions such as the law of large numbers (LLN), the central limit theorem (CLT), and the large deviation principle (LDP) are ...

Large Deviations for Random Walks in a Mixing Random Environment and Other (Non-Markov) Random Walks

We extend a recent work by S. R. S. Varadhan [8] on large deviations for random walks in a product random environment to include more general random walks on the lattice. In particular, some reinforced random walks and several classes of random walks in Gibbs fields are included. c © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Branching Random Walks and Their Applications to Population Studies

Recent investigations have demonstrated that continuous-time branching random walks on multidimensional lattices give an important example of stochastic models in which the evolutionary processes depend on the structure of a medium and the spatial dynamics. It is convenient to describe such processes in terms of birth, death, and walks of particles on the lattice. The structure of a medium is d...

Reducing Search Lengths with Locally Precomputed Partial Random Walks

Random walks can be used to search complex networks for a desired resource. To reduce the number of hops necessary to find resources, we propose a search mechanism based on building random walks connecting together partial walks that have been precomputed at each network node in an initial stage. The resources found in each partial walk are registered in its associated Bloom filter. Searches ca...

Random walks on hypergroup of conics in finite fields

In this paper we study random walks on the hypergroup of conics in finite fields. We investigate the behavior of random walks on this hypergroup, the equilibrium distribution and the mixing times. We use the coupling method to show that the mixing time of random walks on hypergroup of conics is only linear. Mathematics Subject Classifications: 60D05, 11A99. Keywoords: random walks, hypergroups,...
