Several graph problems (e.g., steiner tree, connected domination, hamiltonian path, and isomorphism problem), which can be solved in polynomial time for distance-hereditary graphs...
PageRank is defined as the stationary state of a Markov chain. The chain is obtained by perturbing the transition matrix induced by a web graph with a damping factor that spreads...
One of the major tasks of evolutionary biology is the reconstruction of phylogenetic trees from molecular data. The evolutionary model is given by a Markov chain on the true evolu...
Voting trees describe an iterative procedure for selecting a single vertex from a tournament. vide a very general abstract model of decision-making among a group of individuals, a...

We begin by observing that (discrete-time) QuasiBirth-Death Processes (QBDs) are equivalent, in a precise sense, to (discrete-time) probabilistic 1-Counter Automata (p1CAs), and b...
