Stopping Markov processes and first path on graphs

Giacomo Aletti, Ely Merzbach (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Given a strongly stationary Markov chain (discrete or continuous) and a finite set of stopping rules, we show a noncombinatorial method to compute the law of stopping. Several examples are presented. The problem of embedding a graph into a larger but minimal graph under some constraints is studied. Given a connected graph, we show a noncombinatorial manner to compute the law of a first given path among a set of stopping paths.We prove the existence of a minimal Markov chain without oversized...

Graph fibrations, graph isomorphism, and PageRank

Paolo Boldi, Violetta Lonati, Massimo Santini, Sebastiano Vigna (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

PageRank is a ranking method that assigns scores to web pages using the limit distribution of a random walk on the web graph. A of graphs is a morphism that is a local isomorphism of in-neighbourhoods, much in the same way a covering projection is a local isomorphism of neighbourhoods. We show that a deep connection relates fibrations and , a particular kind of Markov chains that include the PageRank one as a special case. This fact provides constraints on the values that PageRank...

Two operations of merging and splitting components in a chain graph

Milan Studený, Alberto Roverato, Šárka Štěpánová (2009)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

In this paper we study two operations of merging components in a chain graph, which appear to be elementary operations yielding an equivalent graph in the respective sense. At first, we recall basic results on the operation of feasible merging components, which is related to classic LWF (Lauritzen, Wermuth and Frydenberg) Markov equivalence of chain graphs. These results are used to get a graphical characterisation of factorisation equivalence of classic chain graphs. As another example...

Maximization of distances of regular polygons on a circle

Similarity:

This paper presents the solution of a basic problem defined by J. Černý which solves a concrete everyday problem in railway and road transport (the problem of optimization of time-tables by some criteria).
