. Consider a simple random walk on a realization of an Erd˝os-R´enyi graph. Assume that it is asymptotically almost surely (a.a.s.) connected. Conditional on an eigenvector delocalization conjecture,

We analyze the fluctuations of incomplete $U$-statistics over a triangular array of independent random variables. We give criteria for a Central Limit Theorem (CLT, for short) to hold in the sense

It is proved that starting from a uniform vertex both accelerates mixing to $O(\log n)$ and concentrates it (the cutoff phenomenon occurs), and analogous results are given for graphs with prescribed degree sequences, where cutoff is shown both for the simple and for the non-backtracking random walk.

An effective medium approximation is developed that predicts that the mean first-passage time between pairs of nodes, as well as all moments of this first- passage time, are insensitive to the fraction p of occupied links.

The goal will be to interpret Polya’s beautiful theorem that a random walker on an infinite street network in d-dimensional space is bound to return to the starting point when d = 2, but has a positive probability of escaping to infinity without returning to the Starting Point when d ≥ 3, and to prove the theorem using techniques from classical electrical theory.

The random assignment problem is to minimize the cost of an assignment in a n×n matrix of random costs. In this paper we study this problem for some integer valued cost distributions. We consider

Estimates on the important parameters of access time, commute time, cover time and mixing time are discussed and recent algorithmic applications of random walks are sketched, in particular to the problem of sampling.
