Explicit determination of the mean first-passage time (MFPT) for trapping problem on complex media is a theoretical challenge. In this paper, we study random walks on the Apollonian network with a trap fixed at a given hub node (i.e. node with the highest degree), which are simultaneously scale-free and small-world. We obtain the precise analytic expression for the MFPT that is confirmed by direct numerical calculations. In the large system size limit, the MFPT approximately grows as a power-law function of the number of nodes, with the exponent much less than 1, which is significantly different from the scaling for some regular networks or fractals, such as regular lattices, Sierpinski fractals, T-graph, and complete graphs. The Apollonian network is the most efficient configuration for transport by diffusion among all previously studied structure.

We investigate the critical properties of Ising models on a Regularized Apollonian Network (RAN), here defined as a kind of Apollonian Network (AN) in which the connectivity asymmetry associated to its corners is removed. Different choices for the co upling constants between nearest neighbors are considered, and two different order parameters are used to detect the critical behaviour. While ordinary ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic models on RAN do not undergo a phase transition, some anti-ferrimagnetic models show an interesting infinite order transition. All results are obtained by an exact analytical approach based on iterative partial tracing of the Boltzmann factor as intermediate steps for the calculation of the partition function and the order parameters.

In this paper, we propose a general framework for the trapping problem on a weighted network with a perfect trap fixed at an arbitrary node. By utilizing the spectral graph theory, we provide an exact formula for mean first-passage time (MFPT) from o ne node to another, based on which we deduce an explicit expression for average trapping time (ATT) in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Laplacian matrix associated with the weighted graph, where ATT is the average of MFPTs to the trap over all source nodes. We then further derive a sharp lower bound for the ATT in terms of only the local information of the trap node, which can be obtained in some graphs. Moreover, we deduce the ATT when the trap is distributed uniformly in the whole network. Our results show that network weights play a significant role in the trapping process. To apply our framework, we use the obtained formulas to study random walks on two specific networks: trapping in weighted uncorrelated networks with a deep trap, the weights of which are characterized by a parameter, and Levy random walks in a connected binary network with a trap distributed uniformly, which can be looked on as random walks on a weighted network. For weighted uncorrelated networks we show that the ATT to any target node depends on the weight parameter, that is, the ATT to any node can change drastically by modifying the parameter, a phenomenon that is in contrast to that for trapping in binary networks. For Levy random walks in any connected network, by using their equivalence to random walks on a weighted complete network, we obtain the optimal exponent characterizing Levy random walks, which have the minimal average of ATTs taken over all target nodes.
Designing optimal structure favorable to diffusion and effectively controlling the trapping process are crucial in the study of trapping problem---random walks with a single trap. In this paper, we study the trapping problem occurring on unweighted a nd weighted networks, respectively. The networks under consideration display the striking scale-free, small-world, and modular properties, as observed in diverse real-world systems. For binary networks, we concentrate on three cases of trapping problems with the trap located at a peripheral node, a neighbor of the root with the least connectivity, and a farthest node, respectively. For weighted networks with edge weights controlled by a parameter, we also study three trapping problems, in which the trap is placed separately at the root, a neighbor of the root with the least degree, and a farthest node. For all the trapping problems, we obtain the analytical formulas for the average trapping time (ATT) measuring the efficiency of the trapping process, as well as the leading scaling of ATT. We show that for all the trapping problems in the binary networks with a trap located at different nodes, the dominating scalings of ATT reach the possible minimum scalings, implying that the networks have optimal structure that is advantageous to efficient trapping. Furthermore, we show that for trapping in the weighted networks, the ATT is controlled by the weight parameter, through modifying which, the ATT can behave superlinealy, linearly, sublinearly, or logarithmically with the system size. This work could help improving the design of systems with efficient trapping process and offers new insight into control of trapping in complex systems.
Due to wide applications in diverse fields, random walks subject to stochastic resetting have attracted considerable attention in the last decade. In this paper, we study discrete-time random walks on complex network with multiple resetting nodes. Us ing a renewal approach, we derive exact expressions of the occupation probability of the walker in each node and mean-field first-passage time between arbitrary two nodes. All the results are relevant to the spectral properties of the transition matrix in the absence of resetting. We demonstrate our results on circular networks, stochastic block models, and Barabasi-Albert scale-free networks, and find the advantage of the resetting processes to multiple resetting nodes in global searching on such networks.

The problem of how many trajectories of a random walker in a potential are needed to reconstruct the values of this potential is studied. We show that this problem can be solved by calculating the probability of survival of an abstract random walker in a partially absorbing potential. The approach is illustrated on the discrete Sinai (random force) model with a drift. We determine the parameter (temperature, duration of each trajectory, ...) values making reconstruction as fast as possible.
