There are already a few alternative proofs of this fact. In this note, we give yet another proof based on functional analysis and entropic consideration.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-09-02T06:27:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C81", "60J10", "94A17" ], "keywords": [ "ramanujan graph", "entropic proof", "uniform distribution drops", "simple random walk", "random walk distribution" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
