We consider the possible visits to visible points of a random walker moving up and right in the integer lattice (with probability $\alpha$ and $1-\alpha$, respectively) and starting from the origin. We show that, almost surely, the…

In the context of countable groups of polynomial volume growth, we consider a large class of random walks that are allowed to take long jumps along multiple subgroups according to power law distributions. For such a random walk, we study…

In this paper, for any integer $k\geq 2$, we study the distribution of the visible lattice points in certain generalized P\'{o}lya's walk on $\mathbb{Z}^k$: perturbed P\'{o}lya's walk and twisted P\'{o}lya's walk. For the first case, we…

Consider a simple random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$ with a random coloring of $\mathbb{Z}$. Look at the sequence of the first $N$ steps taken in the random walk, together with the colors of the visited locations. We call this the record. From the…

In a recent Letter Ciftci and Cakmak [EPL 87, 60003 (2009)] showed that the two dimensional random walk in a bounded domain, where walkers which cross the boundary return to a base curve near origin with deterministic rules, can produce…

We study discrete-time random walks on arbitrary networks with first-passage resetting processes. To the end, a set of nodes are chosen as observable nodes, and the walker is reset instantaneously to a given resetting node whenever it hits…

We consider a d-dimensional random walk in random scenery X(n), where the scenery consists of i.i.d. with exponential moments but a tail decay of the form exp(-c t^a) with a<d/2. We study the probability, when averaged over both randomness,…

We study the behavior of the random walk on the infinite cluster of independent long range percolation in dimensions $d=1,2$, where $x$ and $y$ a re connected with probability $\sim\beta/\|x-y\|^{-s}$. We show that when $d<s<2d$ the walk is…

For any recurrent random walk (S_n)_{n>0} on R, there are increasing sequences (g_n)_{n>0} converging to infinity for which (g_n S_n)_{n>0} has at least one finite accumulation point. For one class of random walks, we give a criterion on…

Discrete time random walks, in which a step of random sign but constant length $\delta x$ is performed after each time interval $\delta t$, are widely used models for stochastic processes. In the case of a correlated random walk, the next…

When it comes to random walk on the integers $\mathbb{Z}$, the arguably first step of generalization beyond simple random walk is the class of one-sidedly continuous random walk, where the stepsize in only one direction is bounded by 1.…

Random walks, and in particular, their first passage times, are ubiquitous in nature. Using direct enumeration of paths, we find the first return time distribution of a 1D random walker, which is a heavy-tailed distribution with infinite…
