We consider real-valued branching random walks and prove a large deviation result for the position of the rightmost particle. The position of the rightmost particle is the maximum of a collection of a random number of dependent random…

In this paper we revise the theory of turnpikes in discounted Markov decision processes, prove the turnpike theorem for the undiscounted model and apply the results to the specific random walk.

Unlike classical simple random walks, one-dimensional random walks in random environments (RWRE) are known to have a wide array of potential limiting distributions. Under certain assumptions, however, it is known that CLT-like limiting…

In this paper, we discuss asymptotic behavior of the capacity of the range of symmetric simple random walks on finitely generated groups. We show the corresponding strong law of large numbers and central limit theorem.

This paper presents a sharp approximation of the density of long runs of a random walk conditioned on its end value or by an average of a functions of its summands as their number tends to infinity. The conditioning event is of moderate or…

Random walks are ubiquitous in the sciences, and they are interesting from both theoretical and practical perspectives. They are one of the most fundamental types of stochastic processes; can be used to model numerous phenomena, including…

We consider supercritical branching random walks on transitive graphs and we prove a law of large numbers for the mean displacement of the ensemble of particles, and a Stam-type central limit theorem for the empirical distributions, thus…

We consider random walks in a balanced random environment in $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 2$. We first prove an invariance principle (for $d\ge2$) and the transience of the random walks when $d\ge 3$ (recurrence when $d=2$) in an ergodic…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of random walks in i.i.d. non-elliptic random environments on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Standard conditions (and proofs) for ballisticity and the central limit theorem require ellipticity. We use oriented percolation…
