Strongly self-interacting processes on the circle

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the long time behaviour for a self-interacting diffusion and a self-interacting velocity jump process. While the diffusion case has already been studied for some particular potential function, the second one, which belongs to the family of piecewise deterministic processes, is new. Depending on the underlying potential function's shape, we prove either the almost sure convergence or the recurrence for a natural extended process given by a change a variable.
