We introduce random interlacements for transient vertex-reinforced jump processes on a general graph $G$. Using increasing finite subgraphs $G_n$ of $G$ with wired boundary conditions, we show convergence of the vertex-reinforced jump…
We prove that the restriction of the vertex-reinforced jump process to a subset of the vertex set is a mixture of vertex-reinforced jump processes. A similar statement holds for the non-linear hyperbolic supersymmetric sigma model. This is…
We study asymptotic behaviours of a non-linear vertex-reinforced jump process defined on an arbitrary infinite graph with bounded degree. We prove that if the reinforcement function $w$ is reciprocally integrable and non-decreasing, then…
We prove polynomial decay of the mixing field of the Vertex Reinforced Jump Process (VRJP) on $\Bbb{Z}^2$ with bounded conductances. Using [17] we deduce that the VRJP on $\Bbb{Z}^2$ with any constant conductances is almost surely…
This article introduces a model for interacting vertex-reinforced random walks, each taking values on a complete sub-graph of a locally finite undirected graph. The transition probability for a walk to a given vertex depends on the…
This paper concerns the Vertex Reinforced Jump Process (VRJP) and its representations as a Markov process in random environment. We show that all possible representations of the VRJP as a mixture of Markov processes can be expressed in a…
We give a simple proof for recurrence of vertex reinforced jump process on \(\mathbb{Z}^d\), under strong reinforcement. Moreover, we show how the previous result implies that linearly edge-reinforced random walk on \ \(\mathbb{Z}^d\) is…
We show that the vertex-reinforced jump process on the $d$-dimensional lattice with long-range jumps is transient in any dimension $d$ as long as the initial weights do not decay too fast. The main ingredients in the proof are: an analysis…
We consider a continuous-time vertex reinforced jump process on a supercritical Galton-Watson tree. This process takes values in the set of vertices of the tree and jumps to a neighboring vertex with rate proportional to the local time at…
Consider a vertex-reinforced jump process defined on a regular tree, where each vertex has exactly $b$ children, with $b \ge 3$. We prove the strong law of large numbers and the central limit theorem for the distance of the process from the…
We consider a class of multi-particle reinforced interacting random walks. In this model, there are some (finite or infinite) particles performing random walks on a given (finite or infinite) connected graph, so that each particle has…
We describe a model for $m$ vertex reinforced interacting random walks on complete graphs with $d\geq 2$ vertices. The transition probability of a random walk to a given vertex depends exponentially on the proportion of visits made by all…
Edge-reinforced random walk (ERRW), introduced by Coppersmith and Diaconis in 1986, is a random process, which takes values in the vertex set of a graph $G$, and is more likely to cross edges it has visited before. We show that it can be…
We give an alternative proof of the fact that the vertex reinforced jump process on Galton- Watson tree has a phase transition between recurrence and transience as a function of c, the initial local time, see [3]. Further, applying the…
Vertex-Reinforced Random Walk (VRRW), defined by Pemantle (1988a), is a random process in a continuously changing environment which is more likely to visit states it has visited before. We consider VRRW on arbitrary graphs and show that on…
We generalize a result from Volkov [Ann. Probab. 29 (2001) 66--91] and prove that, on a large class of locally finite connected graphs of bounded degree $(G,\sim)$ and symmetric reinforcement matrices $a=(a_{i,j})_{i,j\in G}$, the…
Vertex-reinforced random walk is defined in Pemantle's (1988) thesis; it is a random walk that is biased to visit sites it has already visited a lot. We show that this reinforcement scheme, in contrast to the scheme of edge-reinforcement,…
We analyze the Brownian Motion limit of a prototypical unit step reinforced random-walk on the half line. A reinforced random walk is one which changes the weight of any edge (or vertex) visited to increase the frequency of return visits.…
The vertex-reinforced jump process (VRJP) is a form of self-interacting random walk in which the walker is biased towards returning to previously visited vertices with the bias depending linearly on the local time at these vertices. We…
The aim of our work is to study vertex-reinforced jump processes with super-linear weight function $w(t) = t^\alpha$ , for some $\alpha>1$. On any complete graph $G = (V, E)$, we prove that there is one vertex $v \in V$ such that the total…
