A random-walk based epidemiological model
Random walkers on a two-dimensional square lattice are used to explore the spatio-temporal growth of an epidemic. We have found that a simple random-walk system generates nontrivial dynamics compared with traditional well-mixed models. Phase diagrams characterizing the long-term behaviors of the epidemics are calculated numerically. The phase boundary separating those sets of parameters leading to outbreaks dying out and those leading to indefinite growth is mapped out in detail. The functional dependence of the basic reproductive number R0 on the model’s defining parameters reveals the role of spatial fluctuations and leads to a novel expression for R0. Special attention is given to simulations of inter-regional transmission of the contagion. The attack rate and the (growing) radius of gyration of the affected zones are used as measures of the severity of the outbreaks, in cases where R0 is not sufficiently prescriptive to chart the epidemic dynamics.

Random Walks: A Review of Algorithms and Applications
A random walk is known as a random process which describes a path including a succession of random steps in the mathematical space. It has increasingly been popular in various disciplines such as mathematics and computer…
Link PredictionNetwork EmbeddingVertex-reinforced Random Walk for Network Embedding
In this paper, we study the fundamental problem of random walk for network embedding. We propose to use non-Markovian random walk, variants of vertex-reinforced random walk (VRRW), to fully use the history of a random wa…

Epidemiological models help policymakers mitigate disease spread by predicting transmission metrics based on disease dynamics and contact networks. Calibrating these models requires representative network sampling. We in…
Facilitating Graph Neural Networks with Random Walk on Simplicial Complexes
Node-level random walk has been widely used to improve Graph Neural Networks. However, there is limited attention to random walk on edge and, more generally, on $k$-simplices. This paper systematically analyzes how rando…
Random Walk in Random Permutation Set Theory
Random walk is an explainable approach for modeling natural processes at the molecular level. The Random Permutation Set Theory (RPST) serves as a framework for uncertainty reasoning, extending the applicability of Demps…
