First-passage time distribution for random walks on complex networks using inverse Laplace transform and mean-field approximation

Mucong Ding, Kwok Yip Szeto

We obtain an exact formula for the first-passage time probability distribution for random walks on complex networks using inverse Laplace transform. We write the formula as the sum…

Selection of Random Walkers that Optimizes the Global Mean First-Passage Time for Search in Complex Networks

Mucong Ding, Kwok Yip Szeto

We design a method to optimize the global mean first-passage time (GMFPT) of multiple random walkers searching in complex networks for a general target, without specifying the prop…

Does Having More Options Mean Harder to Reach Consensus?

Degang Wu, Kwok Yip Szeto

We generalize a binary majority-vote model on adaptive networks to a plurality-vote counterpart. When opinions are uniformly distributed in the population of voters in the initial…

Winning in Sequential Parrondo Games by Players with Short-Term Memory

Ka Wai Cheung, Ho Fai Ma, Degang Wu +2

The original Parrondo game, denoted as AB3, contains two independent games: A and B. The winning or losing of A and B game is defined by the change of one unit of capital. Game A i…

Extended Parrondo's Game and Brownian Ratchets: Strong and Weak Parrondo Effect

Degang Wu, Kwok Yip Szeto

Inspired by the flashing ratchet, Parrondo's game presents an apparently paradoxical situation. Parrondo's game consists of two individual games, game A and game B. Game A is a sli…

Connecting boundary and interior - "Gauss's law" for graphs

Ching King Chan, Kwok Yip Szeto

The Gauss's law, in an abstract sense, is a theorem that relates quantities on the boundary (flux) to the interior (charge) of a surface. An identity for soap froths were proved wi…

Detection of network inhomogeneity by total neighbor degree

H. W. Lau, K. Y. Szeto

Inhomogeneity in networks can be detected by the analysis of the correlation of the total degree of nearest neighbors. This is illustrated by two models. The first one is a random…
