AbstractBranching random walks (BRW) on groups consist of two independent processes on the Cayley graphs: branching and movement. Start with a particle on a favorite location of the graph. According to a given offspring distribution, the particles at the time n split into a random set of particles with mean $r \ge 1$, each of which then moves independently with a fixed step distribution to the ...
Abstract:The Lévy Flight Foraging Hypothesis is a widely accepted dogma which asserts that animals using search strategies allowing for long jumps, also known as Lévy flights, have an evolutionary advantage over those animals using a foraging strategy based on continuous random walks modelled by Brownian motion. However, recent discoveries suggest that this popular belief may not be true in so...
