Record statistics for a discrete-time random walk with correlated steps

Statistical Mechanics 2021-02-02 v2 Probability

Abstract

The characterization of record events is considered for a discrete-time random walk model with long-term memory arising from correlations between successive steps. An important feature is that the correlations are strong enough to give rise to super-diffusivity and transience. Various quantities related to record statistics are calculated exactly, highlighting important differences in behaviour from the simple random walk with independent steps.
