In 1991, Persi Diaconis and Daniel Stroock obtained two canonical path bounds on the second largest eigenvalue for simple random walk on a connected graph, the Poincare and Cheeger bounds, and they raised the question as to whether the Poincare bound is always superior. In this paper, we present some background on these issues, provide an example where Cheeger beats Poincare, establish some sufficient conditions on the canonical paths for the Poincare bound to triumph, and show that there is always a choice of paths for which this happens.
We define a correlated random walk (CRW) induced from the time evolution matrix (the Grover matrix) of the Grover walk on a graph $G$, and present a formula for the characteristic polynomial of the transition probability matrix of this CRW by using a
Let $X, Y$ be two independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables taking values from a separable Banach space $(mathcal{X}, |cdot|)$. Given two measurable subsets $F, Ksubseteqcal{X}$, we established distribution free comparison inequal
We work under the A{i}d{e}kon-Chen conditions which ensure that the derivative martingale in a supercritical branching random walk on the line converges almost surely to a nondegenerate nonnegative random variable that we denote by $Z$. It is shown t
We prove infinite-dimensional second order Poincare inequalities on Wiener space, thus closing a circle of ideas linking limit theorems for functionals of Gaussian fields, Steins method and Malliavin calculus. We provide two applications: (i) to a ne
We study the trajectory of a simple random walk on a d-regular graph with d>2 and locally tree-like structure as the number n of vertices grows. Examples of such graphs include random d-regular graphs and large girth expanders. For these graphs, we i
