Continuous-time random walks offer powerful coarse-grained descriptions of transport processes. We here microscopically derive such a model for a Brownian particle diffusing in a deep periodic potential. We determine both the waiting-time…

We give an algorithmic local lemma by establishing a sufficient condition for the uniform random walk on a directed graph to reach a sink quickly. Our work is inspired by Moser's entropic method proof of the Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma (LLL) for…

As a strategy to complete games quickly, we investigate one-dimensional random walks where the step length increases deterministically upon each return to the origin. When the step length after the kth return equals k, the displacement of…

Consider a simple random walk on a realization of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph. Assume that it is asymptotically almost surely (a.a.s.) connected. Conditional on an eigenvector delocalization conjecture, we prove a Central Limit Theorem (CLT)…

Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a supercritical Galton-Watson tree with a bounded offspring distribution that has mean $\mu >1$, conditioned to survive. Let $\varphi_{\mathcal{T}}$ be a random embedding of $\mathcal{T}$ into $\mathbb{Z}^d$ according…

A well known connection between first-passage probability of random walk and distribution of electrical potential described by Laplace equation is studied. We simulate random walk in the plane numerically as a discrete time process with…

We outline basic properties of a symmetric random walk in one dimension, in which the length of the nth step equals lambda^n, with lambda<1. As the number of steps N-->oo, the probability that the endpoint is at x, P_{lambda}(x;N),…

In this work, we study the large deviation properties of random walk in a random environment on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d\geq1$. We start with the quenched case, take the point of view of the particle, and prove the large deviation principle…

We consider a model for random walks on random environments (RWRE) with random subset of Z^d as the vertices, and uniform transition probabilities on 2d points (two "coordinate nearest points" in each of the d coordinate directions). We…

We present numerical study of a model of quantum walk in periodic potential on the line. We take the simple view that different potentials affect differently the way the coin state of the walker is changed. For simplicity and definiteness,…

A global picture of a random particle movement is given by the convex hull of the visited points. We obtained numerically the probability distributions of the volume and surface of the convex hulls of a selection of three types of…

We study graph-theoretic properties of the trace of a random walk on a random graph. We show that for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists $C>1$ such that the trace of the simple random walk of length $(1+\varepsilon)n\ln{n}$ on the random…

Let $r: S\times S\to \bb R_+$ be the jump rates of an irreducible random walk on a finite set $S$, reversible with respect to some probability measure $m$. For $\alpha >1$, let $g: \bb N\to \bb R_+$ be given by $g(0)=0$, $g(1)=1$, $g(k) =…

We consider a broad class of Continuous Time Random Walks with large fluctuations effects in space and time distributions: a random walk with trapping, describing subdiffusion in disordered and glassy materials, and a L\'evy walk process,…

We review some old and prove some new results on the survival probability of a random walk among a Poisson system of moving traps on Z^d, which can also be interpreted as the solution of a parabolic Anderson model with a random…

We consider a time dependent trap externally manipulated in such a way that one of its bound states is brought up towards the continuum threshold, and then down again. We evaluate the probability $P^{stay}$ for a particle, initially in a…

We study the behaviour of a sequence of biased random walks X(i), i>=0 on a sequence of random graphs, where the initial graph is Zd and otherwise the graph for the i-th walk is the trace of the (i - 1)-st walk. The sequence of bias vectors…

For a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, naively sampling the position of a random walk of at time $t$ requires work $\Omega(t)$. We desire local access algorithms supporting $\text{position}(G,s,t)$ queries, which return the position of a random…

Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $\Lambda\leq G$ a lattice, and $\Omega=G/\Lambda$. We study the equidistribution properties of the left random walk on $\Omega$ induced by a probability measure $\mu$ on $G$. It is assumed that $\mu$ has a…
