Exponential extinction time of the contact process on finite graphs

Thomas Mountford, Daniel Rodrigues Valesin, Jean-Christophe Mourrat

We study the extinction time tau of the contact process started with full occupancy on finite trees of bounded degree. We show that, if the infection rate is larger than the critical rate for the contact process on Z, then, uniformly over all trees of degr ...

A Precise Threshold For Quasi-Ramsey Numbers

János Pach

We consider the variation of Ramsey numbers introduced by Erdos and Pach [J. Graph Theory, 7 (1983), pp. 137-147], where instead of seeking complete or independent sets we only seek a t-homogeneous set, a vertex subset that induces a subgraph of minimum de ...

Downsampling of Signals on Graphs Via Maximum Spanning Trees

Quy Ha Nguyen, Minh Do

Downsampling of signals living on a general weighted graph is not as trivial as of regular signals where we can simply keep every other samples. In this paper we propose a simple, yet effective downsampling scheme in which the underlying graph is approxima ...

Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc2015

We consider dynamic random walks where the nearest neighbour jump rates are determined by an underlying supercritical contact process in equilibrium. This has previously been studied by den Hollander and dos Santos (arXiv: 1209.1511). We show the CLT for s ...

Univ Washington, Dept Mathematics2015

We consider the simple random walk on Z(d) evolving in a random i.i.d. potential taking values in [0, +infinity). The potential is not assumed integrable, and can be rescaled by a multiplicative factor lambda > 0. Completing the work started in a companion ...

The Range of a Random Walk on a Comb

János Pach, Gábor Tardos

The graph obtained from the integer grid Z x Z by the removal of all horizontal edges that do not belong to the x-axis is called a comb. In a random walk on a graph, whenever a walker is at a vertex v, in the next step it will visit one of the neighbors of ...

Steiner Tree Approximation via Iterative Randomized Rounding

Thomas Rothvoss, Laura Sanità

The Steiner tree problem is one of the most fundamental NP-hard problems: given a weighted undirected graph and a subset of terminal nodes, find a minimum-cost tree spanning the terminals. In a sequence of papers, the approximation ratio for this problem w ...

FORWARD BROWNIAN MOTION

We consider processes which have the distribution of standard Brownian motion (in the forward direction of time) starting from random points on the trajectory which accumulate at -∞ 1. We show that these processes do not have to have the distribution of st ...

Lévy walk description of suprathermal ion transport

Paolo Ricci, Kyle Gustafson

Transport of suprathermal ions is examined from the Levy walk perspective in a simple magnetized toroidal plasma. Depending on their energy, these suprathermal ions exhibit superdiffusive, diffusive, or subdiffusive dispersion as a result of the complex in ...

Stochastic Control and Free Boundary Problems for Sailboat Trajectory Optimization

Laura Vinckenbosch

The topic of this thesis is the study of several stochastic control problems motivated by sailing races. The goal is to minimize the travel time between two locations, by selecting the fastest route in face of randomly changing weather conditions, such as ...
