A Criterion for Convergence of Diffusion Processes on Graphs
Abstract
In this paper, we consider diffusion processes on a graph. On the i-th edge, each process is governed by an operator of the form DviD+ui, and the behavior at the vertices is determined by the gluing conditions. The paper characterizes the weak convergence of a family of such processes to a limiting process in terms of the behavior of the scale and speed functions uin and vin and the parameters of the gluing conditions. This may be viewed as a generalization of Freidlin and Wentzell's result on the weak convergence of a family of processes on a line.
