The adjacency matrices and the transition matrices related to random walks on graphs (2012.11880v1)
Published 22 Dec 2020 in math.CO and math.PR
Abstract: A pointed graph $(\Gamma,v_0)$ induces a family of transition matrices in Wildberger's construction of a hermitian hypergroup via a random walk on $\Gamma$ starting from $v_0$. We will give a necessary condition for producing a hermitian hypergroup as we assume a weaker condition than the distance-regularity for $(\Gamma,v_0)$. The condition obtained in this paper connects the transition matrices and the adjacency matrices associated with $\Gamma$.
