Juggling competing demands in a network of feverishly calculating computers drawing on the same memory resources is like trying to avert collisions among blindfolded, randomly zigzagging ice skaters.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The distributions of random walk quantities like ascending ladder heights and the maximum are shown to be phase-type provided that the generic ...

Random walks constitute a foundational concept in probability theory, describing the seemingly erratic movement of particles or agents as they traverse a space in a series of stochastic steps. In many ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We consider the problem of efficient estimation via simulation of first passage time probabilities for a multidimensional random walk with ...

We've gotten really good at generating big datasets. From what we search for on Google to all the stuff we do on Facebook, we generate a lot of data. And there have in turn been a proliferation of ...

Quantum walks are changing the way scientists think about computation. They use the strange and powerful rules of quantum physics—such as superposition, interference, and entanglement—to solve ...
