This work studies the typical behavior of random integer-valued Lipschitz functions on expander graphs with sufficiently good expansion. We consider two families of functions: M -Lipschitz functions (functions which change by at most M along edges) and integer-homomorphisms (functions which change by exactly 1 along edges). We prove that such functions typically exhibit very small fluctuations....

is said to be typically-real of order p, if in (1.1) the coefficients bn are all real and if either (I) f(z) is regular in |a| =S1 and 3/(ei9) changes sign 2p times as z = eie traverses the boundary of the unit circle, or (II) f(z) is regular in | z\ < 1 and if there is a p < 1 such that for each r in p<r<l, $f(reie) changes sign 2p times as z = reie traverses the circle \z\ =r. This set of fun...

This study presents a method to quantify a child's sensitivity to passive limb motion, which is an important aspect of kinaesthesia not easily examined clinically. Psychophysical detection thresholds to passive forearm motion were determined in a group of 20 typically developing pre-adolescent children (mean age 12y 6mo, SD 10mo, range 11-13y) and a group of 10 healthy adults (mean age 29y 10mo...
