We consider the subdiffusion--absorption process in a system which consists of two different media separated by a thin membrane. The process is described by subdiffusion--absorption equations with fractional Riemann--Liouville time…
Given a supercritical branching random walk $\{Z_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ on $\mathbb{R}$, let $Z_n([y,\infty))$ be the number of particles located in $[y,\infty)\subset\mathbb{R}$ at generation $n$. Let $m$ be the mean of the offspring law of…
This work is an attempt to transfer to biology the methods developed in physics for formulating and solving the kinetic equations in which the kernel of the integral operator in spatial coordinates is slowly decreasing with increasing…
A classical random walk $(S_t, t\in\mathbb{N})$ is defined by $S_t:=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^t X_n$, where $(X_n)$ are i.i.d. When the increments $(X_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ are a one-order Markov chain, a short memory is introduced in the…
We consider random walks, say $W_n=(M_0, M_1,\dots, M_n)$, of length $n$ starting at 0 and based on the martingale sequence $M_k$ with differences $X_m=M_m-M_{m-1}$. Assuming that the differences are bounded, $|X_m|\leq 1$, we solve the…
Let $G$ be a connected simple real Lie group, $\Lambda_{0}\subseteq G$ a lattice and $\Lambda \unlhd \Lambda_{0}$ a normal subgroup such that $\Lambda_{0}/\Lambda\simeq \mathbb{Z}^d$. We study the drift of a random walk on the…
The investigation of random walks is central to a variety of stochastic processes in physics, chemistry, and biology. To describe a transport phenomenon, we study a variant of the one-dimensional persistent random walk, which we call a…
The problem of how many trajectories of a random walker in a potential are needed to reconstruct the values of this potential is studied. We show that this problem can be solved by calculating the probability of survival of an abstract…
We consider a random walk X_n in Z_+, starting at X_0=x>= 0, with transition probabilities P(X_{n+1}=X_n+1|X_n=y>=1)=1/2-\delta/(4y+2\delta) P(X_{n+1}=X_n+1|X_n=y>=1)=1/2+\delta/(4y+2\delta) and X_{n+1}=1 whenever X_n=0. We prove that the…
We consider branching random walks on the Euclidean lattice in dimensions five and higher. In this non-Markovian setting, we first obtain a relationship between the equilibrium measure and Green's function, in the form of an approximate…
Mathematical models of motility are often based on random-walk descriptions of discrete individuals that can move according to certain rules. It is usually the case that large masses concentrated in small regions of space have a great…
Random walk in random environment (RWRE) is a fundamental model of statistical mechanics, describing the movement of a particle in a highly disordered and inhomogeneous medium as a random walk with random jump probabilities. It has been…
The 'Neumann-Ulam' Monte-Carlo sampling is described for the calculation of a matrix inversion or a Green function in case of Hubbard-Stratonovich (HS-)transformed coherent state path integrals. We illustrate how to circumvent direct…
Paths are important structural elements in complex networks because they are finite (unlike walks), related to effective node coverage (minimum spanning trees), and can be understood as being dual to star connectivity. This article…
We exhibit a one to one correspondence between some universal probabilistic properties of the ordering coordinate of one-dimensional Ising-like models and a class of continuous time random walks. This correspondence provides an new…
We consider a random walk model in a one-dimensional environment, formed by several zones of finite width with the fixed transition probabilities. It is also assumed that the transitions to the left and right neighboring points have unequal…
We construct the conditional version of $k$ independent and identically distributed random walks on $\R$ given that they stay in strict order at all times. This is a generalisation of so-called non-colliding or non-intersecting random…
We consider a random walk in i.i.d. random environment with distribution $\nu$ on Z. The problem we are interested in is to provide an estimator of the cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) F of $\nu$ from the observation of one…
We present a simple model of a random walk with partial memory, which we call the \emph{random memory walk}. We introduce this model motivated by the belief that it mimics the behavior of the once-reinforced random walk in high dimensions…
A symmetric relation in the probabilistic Green's function for birth-death chains is explored. Two proofs are given, each of which makes use of the known symmetry of the Green's functions in other contexts. The first uses as primary tool…
