Famously, a $d$-dimensional, spatially homogeneous random walk whose increments are non-degenerate, have finite second moments, and have zero mean is recurrent if $d \in \{1,2\}$ but transient if $d \geq 3$. Once spatial homogeneity is…

When confined to a topological environment consisting of a cycle coupled with a half-line, quantum walks exhibit long-term statistical tendencies which differ dramatically from the tendencies of classical random walks in the same…

Exploiting the coherent medium approximation, random walk among sites distributed randomly in space is investigated when the jump rate depends on the distance between two adjacent sites. In one dimension, it is shown that when the jump rate…

We show that the transience or recurrence of a random walk in certain random environments on an arbitrary infinite locally finite tree is determined by the branching number of the tree, which is a measure of the average number of branches…

We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of a class of self-interacting nearest neighbour random walks on the one-dimensional integer lattice which are pushed by a particular linear combination of their own local time on edges in the…

The Rademacher random walk associated with a deterministic sequence $(a_n)_{n \geq 1}$ is the walk which starts at zero and, at step $i$, independently steps either up or down by $a_i$ with equal probability. We continue the study begun by…

We analyze the recurrence probability (P\'olya number) for d-dimensional unbiased quantum walks. A sufficient condition for a quantum walk to be recurrent is derived. As a by-product we find a simple criterion for localisation of quantum…

We experimentally demonstrate that the statistical properties of distances between pedestrians which are hindered from avoiding each other are described by the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble of random matrices. The same result has recently been…

We introduce random walks in a sparse random environment on $\mathbb Z$ and investigate basic asymptotic properties of this model, such as recurrence-transience, asymptotic speed, and limit theorems in both the transient and recurrent…

We consider a linearly edge-reinforced random walk on a class of two-dimensional graphs with constant initial weights. The graphs are obtained from $\mathbb{Z}^2$ by replacing every edge by a sufficiently large, but fixed number of edges in…

A new class of one-dimensional, discrete time random walk model with memory, termed "Random walk with $n$ memory channels" (RW$n$MC) is proposed. In this model the information of $n$ ($n\in \mathbb{Z}$) previous steps from the walker's…

Many diffusive systems involve correlated random walkers due to a shared environment. Such systems can be modeled as random walks in random environments (RWRE). These models differ from classical diffusion in the behavior of the extremes --…
