Deterministic random walks on the integers
Jim Propp’s P-machine, also known as the ‘rotor router model’ is a simple deterministic process that simulates a random walk on a graph. Instead of distributing chips to ran...

Analysis models for unguided search in unstructured P2P networks
: Random walk and flooding are basic mechanisms for searching unstructured overlays. This paper shows that node coverage is an important metric for query performance in random grap...

Quasirandomness in Graphs
Jim Propp's rotor router model is a simple deterministic analogue of a random walk. Instead of distributing chips randomly, it serves the neighbors in a fixed order. We analy...

Stochastic applications of media theory: Random walks on weak orders or partial orders
This paper presents the axioms of a real time random walk on the set of states of a medium and some of their consequences, such as the asymptotic probabilities of the states. The ...

Noise Strategies for Improving Local Search
It has recently been shown that local search is surprisingly good at nding satisfying assignments for certain computationally hard classes of CNF formulas. The performance of basi...

Random walks on the vertices of transportation polytopes with constant number of sources
We consider the problem of uniformly sampling a vertex of a transportation polytope with m sources and n destinations, where m is a constant. We analyse a natural random walk on t...

Efficient simulation for discrete path-dependent option pricing
In this paper we present an algorithm for simulating functions of the minimum and terminal value for a random walk with Gaussian increments. These expectations arise in connection...

Sampling stable marriages: why spouse-swapping won't work
We study the behavior of random walks along the edges of the stable marriage lattice for various restricted families of allowable preference sets. In the "k-attribute model,&...
