Random Walks on Infinite Graphs and Groups (Hardcover)

Descripción:

Hardcover. This eminent work focuses on the interplay between the behavior of random walks and discrete structure theory. Wolfgang Woess considers Markov chains whose state space is equipped with the structure of an infinite, locally-finite graph, or of a finitely generated group. He assumes the transition probabilities are adapted to the underlying structure in some way that must be specified precisely in each case. He also explores the impact the particular type of structure has on various aspects of the behavior of the random walk. In addition, the author shows how random walks are useful tools for classifying, or at least describing, the structure of graphs and groups. The main theme of this book is the interplay between the behaviour of a class of stochastic processes (random walks) and discrete structure theory. Besides an exposition of probabilistic and structure theoretic aspects, links with spectral theory and discrete potential theory are also discussed. This item is printed on demand.
