We consider a vertex reinforced random walk on the integer lattice with sub-linear reinforcement. Under some assumptions on the regular variation of the weight function, we characterize whether the walk gets stuck on a finite interval. When…

We consider a random walk $S$ in the domain of attraction of a standard normal law $Z$, \textit{ie} there exists a positive sequence $a_n$ such that $S_n/a_n$ converges in law towards $Z$. The main result of this note is that the rescaled…

We clarify the asymptotic of the limsup of the size of the neighborhood of concentration of Sinai's walk improving the result in \cite{Pierre3}. Also we get the almost sure limit of the number of points visited more than a small but fixed…

We consider a state-dependent, time-dependent, discrete random walks $X_t^{\{a_n\}}$ defined on natural numbers $\mathbb{N}$ (bent to a "stair" in $\mathbb{N}^2$) where the random walk depends on input of a positive deterministic sequence…

We consider a generalization of a one-dimensional stochastic process known in the physical literature as L\'evy-Lorentz gas. The process describes the motion of a particle on the real line in the presence of a random array of marked points,…

Let $\tau = (\tau_i : i \in {\Bbb Z})$ denote i.i.d.~positive random variables with common distribution $F$ and (conditional on $\tau$) let $X = (X_t : t\geq0, X_0=0)$, be a continuous-time simple symmetric random walk on ${\Bbb Z}$ with…

We prove the power law decay $p(t,x) \sim t^{-\phi(x,b)/2}$ in which $p(t,x)$ is the probability that the fraction of time up to $t$ in which a random walk $S$ of i.i.d. zero-mean increments taking finitely many values, is non-negative,…

In the frequency domain, the nearly constant loss, is characterized by a slope 1 in log of the real part of the electrical conductivity vs log frequency plots. It can be explained by an anomalous diffusion, defined by a random walk with the…

We study the search kinetics of an immobile target by a concentration of randomly moving searchers. The object of the study is to optimize the probability of detection within the constraints of our model. The target is hidden on a…

Mott variable range hopping is a fundamental mechanism for low-temperature electron conduction in disordered solids in the regime of Anderson localization. In a mean field approximation, it reduces to a random walk (shortly, Mott random…

Annealed functional CLT in the rough path topology is proved for the standard class of ballistic random walks in random environment. Moreover, the `area anomaly', i.e. a deterministic linear correction for the second level iterated integral…

We show that for a weakly dense subset of the domain of attraction of a positive stable random variable of index $0<\alpha<1$($DOA\left(\alpha\right))$ the functional stable convergence is a time-changed renewal convergence of distribution…

A one-dimensional run-and-tumble particle (RTP) switches randomly between a left and right moving state of constant speed $v$. This type of motion arises in a wide range of applications in cell biology, including the unbiased growth and…

Consider a sequence of independent random isometries of Euclidean space with a previously fixed probability law. Apply these isometries successively to the origin and consider the sequence of random points that we obtain this way. We prove…

Suppose that $X$ is a simple random walk on $\Z_n^d$ for $d \geq 3$ and, for each $t$, we let $\U(t)$ consist of those $x \in \Z_n^d$ which have not been visited by $X$ by time $t$. Let $\tcov$ be the expected amount of time that it takes…

We consider one-dimensional activated random walk (ARW) on $\mathbb{Z}$ started from a `point source' initial condition, with many particles at the origin and no other particles. We prove that, uniformly throughout a macroscopic window…

We present a systematic analytical approach to the trapping of a random walk by a finite density rho of diffusing traps in arbitrary dimension d. We confirm the phenomenologically predicted e^{-c_d rho t^{d/2}} time decay of the survival…

We analyze the dynamics of the Sisyphus random walk model, a discrete Markov chain in which the walkers may randomly return to their initial position $x_0$. In particular, we present a remarkably compact derivation of the time-dependent…

The kinetics of annihilating random walks in one dimension, with the half-line x>0 initially filled, is investigated. The survival probability of the nth particle from the interface exhibits power-law decay, S_n(t)~t^{-alpha_n}, with…
