We consider the Brownian ``spider process, also known as Walsh Brownian motion, first introduced in the epilogue of Walsh 1978. The paper provides the best constant $C_n$ for the inequality $$ E D_tauleq C_n sqrt{E tau},$$ where $tau$ is the class of all adapted and integrable stopping times and $D$ denotes the diameter of the spider process measured in terms of the British rail metric. The proof relies on the explicit identification of the value function for the associated optimal stopping problem.
In this paper we study the impact of random exponential edge weights on the distances in a random graph and, in particular, on its diameter. Our main result consists of a precise asymptotic expression for the maximal weight of the shortest weight pat
We consider a simple random walk on $mathbb{Z}^d$ started at the origin and stopped on its first exit time from $(-L,L)^d cap mathbb{Z}^d$. Write $L$ in the form $L = m N$ with $m = m(N)$ and $N$ an integer going to infinity in such a way that $L^2 s
A little over 25 years ago Pemantle pioneered the study of the contact process on trees, and showed that on homogeneous trees the critical values $lambda_1$ and $lambda_2$ for global and local survival were different. He also considered trees with pe
A little over 25 years ago Pemantle pioneered the study of the contact process on trees, and showed that the critical values $lambda_1$ and $lambda_2$ for global and local survival were different. Here, we will consider the case of trees in which the
In this short note we will provide a sufficient and necessary condition to have uniqueness of the location of the maximum of a stochastic process over an interval. The result will also express the mean value of the location in terms of the derivative
