On strict monotonicity of the speed for excited random walks in one dimension

Probability 2015-02-26 v1

Abstract

We give a "direct" coupling proof of strict monotonicity of the speed for 1-dimensional multi-excited random walks with positive speed. This reproves (and extends) a recent result of Peterson without using branching processes.
