Approval Ballot Triangles and Strict-Sense Ballots
Andrew Beveridge, Ian Calaway
We consider a family of binary triangular arrays, called approval ballot triangles (ABTs), that are in bijection with totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions (TSSCPPs…
Random Walks and the Best Meeting Time for Trees
Andrew Beveridge, Ari Holcombe Pomerance
We consider random walks on a tree with stationary distribution for . Let the hitting time denote the expected number of st…
Random Walks and the Meeting Time for Trees
Andrew Beveridge, Ben Bridenbaugh, Ari Holcombe Pomerance
Consider a random walk on a tree . For , let the hitting time denote the expected number of steps required for the random walk started at to reach…
The Exact Mixing Time for Trees with Fixed Diameter
Andrew Beveridge, Kristin Heysse, Rhys O'Higgins +1
We characterize the extremal structure for the exact mixing time for random walks on trees of order with diameter . Given a graph , let denote th…
