Probabilistic problem on random spanning trees
Let $G(V,E)$ be a connected simple graph, where $V$ and $E$ denote respectively its vertex and the edge set respectively. Let $f: V\to \{-1,1\}$ a function mapping each vertex to a value in $\{-1,1\}$....

How far does a random walker travel before returning to the origin?
Consider a (continuous time) simple symmetric random walk on $\mathbb Z$, starting from the origin. Let us denote this random walk by $\{X_t: t\geq 0\} $. It is well known that this random walk is ...

Randomly chosen walk of fixed length
Let $G=(V, E)$ be the graph on vertices $V = \{0, \cdots, k\}^n$, where vertices $(v_1, \cdots, v_n)$ and $(w_1, \cdots, w_n)$ share an edge iff $\lvert v_i - w_i\rvert \leq 1$ for all $i$.
A walk of ...

Random process on a sequence of rolls of an $n$-sided die
Let $\ X:=X_{k\,n}\ $ be a random variable of a $n$-sided die where $\Pr(X=i)=\frac{1}{n}$ for each $i\in\{1,2,\ldots,n\},\ $ where $\ k\in\{1, 2, \ldots,n\}\ $ and $\ n\ $ are fixed. Let $t$ be a ...

Random walk on $\mathbb{R}$ with "sticky" origin
Let $P_i$, $N_i$, and $Z_i$, $i\in\mathbb{N}$ be r.v.'s with the $P_i$, $N_i$, and $Z_i$ being identically distributed with known pdf's $f_P$, $f_N$, and $f_Z$, respectively; and with no dependence ...

Random Walk on $\mathbb{R}$ with Uniformly Distributed Steps and "Reflective" Boundary at Origin
A particle lies on the real number line at the origin. For each step taken, the particle moves from its current position a distance (and direction) chosen equi-probably from range $[-1,r]$. However, ...

Memory of Uniformly Random Dyck Paths
Let $D$ be the set of all Dyck paths on square grid of size $n\times n$. For any particular Dyck path, let $S(t)=X_1+X_2+\ldots +X_t$ store the path, where $X_i=\pm 1$. Being a Dyck path, we have $S(0)...
