Please consider the set of all possible strings of some finite size $M$ alphabet $\Sigma$, $\alpha$ $= a_1, a_2, ..., a_k, ..., a_n$, of length $|\alpha| = L$. The Levenshtein distance (or 'edit dist …

Please imagine a discrete random walk on an N-dimensional rectangular lattice with dimensional lengths $(l_1, ..., l_N) \in L$ and total lattice points $P = \prod{l_i}$, for $i = 1, ..., N$. At each …

We have a multiset $S$ of size $t$ with $r$ distinct elements, where $t$ is much larger than $r$. We want to reconstruct an ordering $s_1, s_2, ... s_t$ of the elements of $S$ given the values of $t$ …

While I like Michael Lugo's answer better, I thought I might as well put up the solution I sketched out for myself for the one-dimensional case: The probability that the walker visits a particular po …

Please consider a random walk on a finite N-dimensional lattice with vectors $(x_1, ..., x_N)$. We define the origin to be $(0, ..., 0)$ and the target to be at the point in the lattice furthest away …
