Random walks and percolation theory form a fundamental confluence in modern statistical physics and probability theory. Random walks describe the seemingly erratic movement of particles or entities, ...

IN 1905, Albert Einstein published five papers that shook the world of physics. His elegant arguments and conclusions were marvels of physical intuition that addressed dilemmas raised by experimental ...

Continuous time random walks, which generalize random walks by adding a stochastic time between jumps, provide a useful description of stochastic transport at mesoscopic scales. The continuous time ...

Machine generated contents note: Part I. Introduction: Movement: 1. Empirical motivation for studying movement; 2. Statistical physics of biological motion; 3. Random ...

The last time I looked at random walks, I used them to calculate the value of Pi for Pi Day. But what is a random walk, really? A mathematician will tell you that it's a stochastic process—a path ...
