In this paper, for any integer $k\geq 2$, we study the distribution of the visible lattice points in certain generalized P\'{o}lya's walk on $\mathbb{Z}^k$: perturbed P\'{o}lya's walk and twisted P\'{o}lya's walk. For the first case, we…

We consider branching random walks in $d$-dimensional integer lattice with time-space i.i.d. offspring distributions. When $d \ge 3$ and the fluctuation of the environment is well moderated by the random walk, we prove a central limit…

For a simple symmetric random walk in dimension $d\geq 3$, a uniform strong law of large numbers is proved for the number of sites with given local time up to time $n$.

A particle moves among the vertices of an $(m+1)$-gon which are labeled clockwise as $0,1,...,m$. The particle starts at 0 and thereafter at each step it moves to the adjacent vertex, going clockwise with a known probability $p$, or…

In this note we consider $2$-dimensional lattice random walks killed at leaving a wedge with opening $\alpha\in(0,\pi]$. Assuming that the walk cannot jump over the boundary of the wedge we prove that there exists a harmonic polynomial if…

We construct the conditional version of $k$ independent and identically distributed random walks on $\R$ given that they stay in strict order at all times. This is a generalisation of so-called non-colliding or non-intersecting random…

We study a discrete random walk on a one-dimensional finite lattice, where each state has different probabilities to move one step forward, backward, staying for a moment or being absorbed. We obtain expected number of arrivals and expected…

We study the problem of a random walk on a lattice in which bonds connecting nearest neighbor sites open and close randomly in time, a situation often encountered in fluctuating media. We present a simple renormalization group technique to…

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…

We define a random walk of a particle in $\mathbb{R}^3$ where the space is rotating. The particle is not glued to the space and will collide with it at random times, resulting in changes in its velocity and direction. After many collisions,…

We give a local central limit theorem for simple random walks on Z^d, including Gaussian error estimates. The detailed proof combines standard large deviation techniques with Cramer-Edgeworth expansions for lattice distributions.

The goal of these notes is to fill some gaps in the literature about random walks in the Cauchy domain of attraction, which has been in many cases left aside because of its additional technical difficulties. We prove here several results in…
