Limit behaviour of random walks on $\mathbb Z^m$ with two-sided membrane
Abstract
We study Markov chains on , , that behave like a standard symmetric random walk outside of the hyperplane (membrane) . The transition probabilities on the membrane are periodic and also depend on the incoming direction to , what makes the membrane two-sided. Moreover, sliding along the membrane is allowed. We show that the natural scaling limit of such Markov chains is a -dimensional diffusion whose first coordinate is a skew Brownian motion and the other coordinates is a Brownian motion with a singular drift controlled by the local time of the first coordinate at . In the proof we utilize a martingale characterization of the Walsh Brownian motion and determine the effective permeability and slide direction. Eventually, a similar convergence theorem is established for the one-sided membrane without slides and random iid transition probabilities.
