We study a simple run-and-tumble random walk whose switching frequency from run mode to tumble mode and the reverse depend on a stochastic signal. We consider a particularly sharp, step-like dependence, where the run to tumble switching…
Given a random walk $(S_n)$ with typical step distributed according to some fixed law and a fixed parameter $p \in (0,1)$, the associated positively step-reinforced random walk is a discrete-time process which performs at each step, with…
Random walks of n steps taken into independent uniformly random directions in a d-dimensional Euclidean space (d larger than 1), are named Dirichlet when their step lengths are distributed according to a Dirichlet law. The latter continuous…
We consider integer-valued random walks with independent but not identically distributed increments, and extend to this context several classical estimates, including a local limit theorem, precise small-ball estimates (both conditional on…
We study a random walk driven by a particle system from a generic class, and establish a law of large numbers for the walk for almost all densities of the environment. To do so, we exploit the finite-ranged approximations of the environment…
In previous work by Avena and den Hollander, a model of a one-dimensional random walk in a dynamic random environment was proposed where the random environment is resampled from a given law along a growing sequence of deterministic times.…
We derive a perturbation expansion for general self-interacting random walks, where steps are made on the basis of the history of the path. Examples of models where this expansion applies are reinforced random walk, excited random walk, the…
We consider a nearest-neighbor, one-dimensional random walk $\{X_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ in a random i.i.d. environment, in the regime where the walk is transient with speed v_P > 0 and there exists an $s\in(1,2)$ such that the annealed law of…
We study the Ergodic Properties of Random Walks in stationary ergodic environments without uniform ellipticity under a minimal assumption. There are two main components in our work. The first step is to adopt the arguments of Lawler to…
In this paper we consider a particular version of the random walk with restarts: random reset events which bring suddenly the system to the starting value. We analyze its relevant statistical properties like the transition probability and…
Recently Simenhaus proved that for any elliptic random walk in random environment, transience in the neighborhood of a given direction is equivalent to the a.s. existence of a deterministic asymptotic direction and to transience in any…
We are concerned with random walks on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 3$, in an i.i.d. random environment with transition probabilities $\epsilon$-close to those of simple random walk. We assume that the environment is balanced in one fixed…
We consider a random walk in an i.i.d. random environment on Zd and study properties of its large deviation rate function at the origin. It was proved by Comets, Gantert and Zeitouni in dimension d = 1 in 1999 and later by Varadhan in…
We study random walks in i.i.d. random environments on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ when there are two basic types of vertices, which we call "blue" and "red". Each color represents a different probability distribution on transition probability vectors.…
Let (S_n)_{n\in\N} be a Z-valued random walk with increments from the domain of attraction of some \alpha-stable law and let (\xi(i))_{i\in\Z} be a sequence of iid random variables. We want to investigate U-statistics indexed by the random…
We give new criteria for ballistic behavior of random walks in random environment which are perturbations of the simple symmetric random walk on $\mathbb Z^d$ in dimensions $d\ge 4$. Our results extend those of Sznitman [Ann. Probab. 31,…
We report on the asymptotic behaviour of a new model of random walk, we term the bindweed model, evolving in a random environment on an infinite multiplexed tree. The term \textit{multiplexed} means that the model can be viewed as a nearest…
We consider point process convergence for sequences of iid random walks. The objective is to derive asymptotic theory for the largest extremes of these random walks. We show convergence of the maximum random walk to the Gumbel or the…
A transient stochastic process is considered strongly transient if conditioned on returning to the starting location, the expected time it takes to return the the starting location is finite. We characterize strong transience for a…
We consider the small deviation probability for random walk with time-inhomogeneous random environment. Compared with the result in Mogul'ski\u{\i} (1974) for the i.i.d. random walk, the rate is smaller (due to the random environment),…
