mathematics, a random walk, sometimes known as a drunkard's walk, is a stochastic process that describes a path that consists of a succession of random steps on...

Random Walk is a 1988 novel by Lawrence Block. It was first published by Tor Books. One day, Guthrie Wagner hears a voice telling him to abandon his life...

Quantum walks are quantum analogs of classical random walks. In contrast to the classical random walk, where the walker occupies definite states and the...

The random walk hypothesis is a financial theory stating that stock market prices evolve according to a random walk (so price changes are random) and thus...

is a random walk in which the step-lengths have a stable distribution, a probability distribution that is heavy-tailed. When defined as a walk in a space...

In mathematics, loop-erased random walk is a model for a random simple path with important applications in combinatorics, physics and quantum field theory...

probability theory, a branching random walk is a stochastic process that generalizes both the concept of a random walk and of a branching process. At every...

quantum walk search is a quantum algorithm for finding a marked node in a graph. The concept of a quantum walk is inspired by classical random walks, in which...

a random walk, the self-avoiding walk. The simplest possible polymer model is presented by the ideal chain, corresponding to a simple random walk. Experimental...

stochastic processes which converge (in the limit) to Brownian motion (see random walk and Donsker's theorem). The Roman philosopher-poet Lucretius' scientific...

Maximal entropy random walk (MERW) is a popular type of biased random walk on a graph, in which transition probabilities are chosen accordingly to the...

signal noise produced by Brownian motion, hence its alternative name of random walk noise. The term "Brown noise" does not come from the color, but after...

a simple random walk in two dimensions, but they start from different points. The simplest way to couple them is simply to force them to walk together...

A Random Walk Down Wall Street, written by Burton Gordon Malkiel, a Princeton University economist, is a book on the subject of stock markets which popularized...

swimming in a uniform environment will form a random walk with relatively straight swims interrupted by random tumbles that reorient the bacterium. Bacteria...

random walk, or other discrete-time stochastic processes with stationary independent increments. This is known as Donsker's theorem. Like the random walk...

the segments of each such chain in an ensemble as performing a random walk (or "random flight") in three dimensions, limited only by the constraint that...

The random walk model of consumption was introduced by economist Robert Hall. This model uses the Euler numerical method to model consumption. He created...

either of indegree and outdegree can be used for normalization: The left (random-walk) normalized Laplacian matrix is defined as: L rw := D + L = I − D + A...

higher dimensions, the SAW is believed to behave much like the ordinary random walk. SAWs and SAPs play a central role in the modeling of the topological...

instead of following a strict random walk, stock price variations executed a Lévy flight. A Lévy flight is a random walk that is occasionally disrupted...
