Abstract
The branching annihilating random walk is studied on a random graph whose s ites have a uniform number of neighbors (z). The Monte Carlo simulations in agreement with the generalized mean-field analysis indicate that the conce ntration decreases linearly with the branching rate for z greater than or e qual to4, while the coefficient of the linear term becomes zero if z=3. The se properties are described by a modified mean-field theory taking explicit ly into consideration the probability of mutual annihilation of the parent and its offspring particles using the returning features of a single walker on the same graph.
