Speed of the biased random walk on a Galton--Watson tree

Probability 2015-03-19 v4

Abstract

We give an expression of the speed of the biased random walk on a Galton--Watson tree. In the particular case of the simple random walk, we recover the result of Lyons, Pemantle and Peres \cite{LyPePe95}. The proof uses a description of the invariant distribution of the environment seen from the particle.
