Precise cover times for branching random walks on Hamming graphs: (iterated) logarithmic corrections

Zhenyuan Zhang

We prove tight asymptotics of the cover time of a continuous-time branching random walk on the Hamming graph , as . We focus…

Stabilizing the Splits through Minimax Decision Trees

Zhenyuan Zhang, Hengrui Luo

By revisiting the end-cut preference (ECP) phenomenon associated with a single CART (Breiman et al. (1984)), we introduce MinimaxSplit decision trees, a robust alternative to CART…

Tightness Analysis of First Passage Times of -Dimensional Branching Random Walk

Jose Blanchet, Zhenyuan Zhang

Given a discrete-time non-lattice supercritical branching random walk in , we investigate its first passage time to a shifted unit ball of a distance from the ori…

Viral Quasispecies Evolution as a Branching Random Walk on the Hypercube

Jose Blanchet, Zhenyuan Zhang

We study a continuous-time nearest-neighbor branching random walk on the -dimensional -ary hypercube as a model for viral quasispecies evolution under m…

On the First Passage Times of Branching Random Walks in

Jose Blanchet, Wei Cai, Shaswat Mohanty +1

We study the first passage times of discrete-time branching random walks in where . Here, the genealogy of the particles follows a supercritical Galton-Wat…

Empirical martingale projections via the adapted Wasserstein distance

Jose Blanchet, Johannes Wiesel, Erica Zhang +1

Given a collection of multidimensional pairs , we study the problem of projecting the associated suitably smoothed empirical measure onto the space of…
