We study the biased random walk in positive random conductances on $\mathbb {Z}^d$. This walk is transient in the direction of the bias. Our main result is that the random walk is ballistic if, and only if, the conductances have finite…
We derive "quenched" subdiffusive lower bounds for the exit time tau(n) from a box of size n for the simple random walk on the planar invasion percolation cluster. The first part of the paper is devoted to proving an almost sure analog of…
We study analytically the asymptotic behaviour of the average probability P(n,t) for the trajectory of a 2D Brownian particle wandering in the presence of randomly distributed traps to wind n times around a given point after a time t. It is…
The subject of this paper is the simple random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$. We give a very simple answer to the following problem: under the condition that a random walk has already spent $\alpha$-percent of the traveling time on the positive side…
We study dynamic random conductance models on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ in which the environment evolves as a reversible Markov process that is stationary under space-time shifts. We prove under a second moment assumption that two conditionally…
We give a lower bound for the non-collision probability up to a long time T in a system of n independent random walks with fixed obstacles on the two-dimensional lattice. By `collision' we mean collision between the random walks as well as…
We study the local time of the anisotropic random walk on the two-dimensional lattice Z^2, by establishing the exact asymptotic behavior of the N-step return probability to the origin.
We study the shrinking Pearson random walk in two dimensions and greater, in which the direction of the Nth is random and its length equals lambda^{N-1}, with lambda<1. As lambda increases past a critical value lambda_c, the endpoint…
We analyze simple random walk on a supercritical Galton-Watson tree, where the walk is conditioned to return to the root at time $2n$. Specifically, we establish the asymptotic order (up to a constant factor) as $n\to\infty$, of the maximal…
The study of random walks has increasingly been popular across diverse disciplines such as statistics, mathematics, quantum physics, where they are used to model paths consisting of successive random steps in a mathematical space. A…
We analyze time-discrete and continuous `fractional' random walks on undirected regular networks with special focus on cubic periodic lattices in $n=1,2,3,..$ dimensions. The fractional random walk dynamics is governed by a master equation…
We consider a random walk on the discrete cylinder $({\mathbb{Z}}/N{\mathbb{Z}})^d\times{\mathbb{Z}}$, $d\geq3$ with drift $N^{-d\alpha}$ in the $\mathbb{Z}$-direction and investigate the large $N$-behavior of the disconnection time…
We consider the probability that a two-dimensional random walk starting from the origin never returns to the half-line $ (- \infty,0] \times {0}$ before time $n$. Let $X^{(1)}=(X_{1},X_{2})$ be the increment of the two-dimensional random…
We consider two models of one-dimensional random walks among biased i.i.d. random conductances: the first is the classical exponential tilt of the conductances, while the second comes from the effect of adding an external field to a random…
A celebrated result in probability theory is that a simple symmetric random walk on the $d$-dimensional lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is recurrent for $d=1,2$ and transient for $d\geq 3$. In this note, we derive a closed-form expression, in terms…
In the present work, we study random walks on complex networks subject to stochastic resetting when the resetting probability is node-dependent. Using a renewal approach, we derive the exact expressions of the stationary occupation…
We study the asymptotic behavior of ``true" self-avoiding random walks on general infinite locally finite trees. In this model, the walk starts at the root and, at each step, from its current vertex chooses a neighboring edge to traverse…
We introduce a multidimensional walk with memory and random tendency. The asymptotic behaviour is characterized, proving a law of large numbers and showing a phase transition from diffusive to superdiffusive regimes. In first case, we…
Under some mild condition, a random walk in the plane is recurrent. In particular each trajectory is dense, and a natural question is how much time one needs to approach a given small neighborhood of the origin. We address this question in…
We consider a random walk on a homogeneous space $G/\Lambda$ where $G$ is a non-compact simple Lie group and $\Lambda$ is a lattice. The walk is driven by a probability measure $\mu$ on $G$ whose support generates a Zariski-dense subgroup.…
