We consider random walks in Dirichlet environment (RWDE) on $\Z ^d$, for $ d \geq 3 $, in the sub-ballistic case. We associate to any parameter $ (\alpha_1, ..., \alpha_{2d}) $ of the Dirichlet law a time-change to accelerate the walk. We…

In this paper we introduce the notion of Random Walk in Changing Environment - a random walk in which each step is performed in a different graph on the same set of vertices, or more generally, a weighted random walk on the same vertex and…

We consider reversible random walks in random environment obtained from symmetric long--range jump rates on a random point process. We prove almost sure transience and recurrence results under suitable assumptions on the point process and…

We discuss conditions for unique ergodicity of a collective random walk on a continuous circle. Individual particles in this collective motion perform independent (and different in general) random walks conditioned by the assumption that…

Many studies on animal and human movement patterns report the existence of scaling laws and power-law distributions. Whereas a number of random walk models have been proposed to explain observations, in many situations individuals actually…

We consider random walks in i.i.d. elliptic random environments which are not uniformly elliptic. We introduce a computable condition in dimension $d=2$ and a general condition valid for dimensions $d\ge 2$ expressed in terms of the exit…

We consider a population of $N$ labeled random walkers moving on a substrate, and an excitation jumping among the walkers upon contact. The label $\mathcal{X}(t)$ of the walker carrying the excitation at time $t$ can be viewed as a…

Consider a sequence of independent random isometries of Euclidean space with a previously fixed probability law. Apply these isometries successively to the origin and consider the sequence of random points that we obtain this way. We prove…

We review recent results obtained from simple individual-based models of biological competition in which birth and death rates of an organism depend on the presence of other competing organisms close to it. In addition the individuals…

We consider a discrete-time continuous-space random walk under the constraints that the number of returns to the origin (local time) and the total area under the walk are fixed. We first compute the joint probability of an excursion having…

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 consider a random walk X_n in non-i.i.d. environment and show that the ratio of log X_n to log n converges in probability to a positive constant.

In this paper, we study the dynamics of a random walker diffusing on a disordered one-dimensional lattice with random trappings. The distribution of escape probabilities is computed exactly for any strength of the disorder. These…

We prove a law of large numbers for certain random walks on certain attractive dynamic random environments when initialised from all sites equal to the same state. This result applies to random walks on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d\geq1$. We…

We consider a ballistic random walk in an i.i.d. random environment that does not allow retreating in a certain fixed direction. We prove an invariance principle (functional central limit theorem) under almost every fixed environment. The…

We give new criteria for ballistic behavior of random walks in random environment which are perturbations of the simple symmetric random walk on $\mathbb Z^d$ in dimensions $d\ge 4$. Our results extend those of Sznitman [Ann. Probab. 31,…

We consider a non-homogeneous random walks system on $\bbZ$ in which each active particle performs a nearest neighbor random walk and activates all inactive particles it encounters up to a total amount of $L$ jumps. We present necessary and…

Random walk is an explainable approach for modeling natural processes at the molecular level. The Random Permutation Set Theory (RPST) serves as a framework for uncertainty reasoning, extending the applicability of Dempster-Shafer Theory.…

We consider random walks in random environments on Z^d. Under a transitivity hypothesis that is much weaker than the customary ellipticity condition, and assuming an absolutely continuous invariant measure on the space of the environments,…
