For a random walk defined for a doubly infinite sequence of times, we let the time parameter itself be an integer-valued process, and call the orginal process a random walk at random time. We find the scaling limit which generalizes the…

We consider a branching random walk on a $d$-ary tree of height $n$ ($n \in \mathbb{N}$), under the presence of a hard wall which restricts each value to be positive, where $d$ is a natural number satisfying $d\geqslant2$. The question of…

Given a symmetric random walk in $Z^2$ with finite second moments, let $R_n$ be the range of the random walk up to time $n$. We study moderate deviations for $R_n -E R_n$ and $E R_n -R_n$. We also derive the corresponding laws of the…

We consider random walks on a tree $G=(V,E)$ with stationary distribution $\pi_v = \mathrm{deg}(v)/2|E|$ for $v \in V$. Let the hitting time $H(v,w)$ denote the expected number of steps required for the random walk started at vertex $v$ to…

The iterated random walk is a random process in which a random walker moves on a one-dimensional random walk which is itself taking place on a one-dimensional random walk, and so on. This process is investigated in the continuum limit using…

In this note, we compute the probability that a two-dimensional symmetric random walk visits more vertices than expected, for deviations on scales between the mean behavior and linear growth.

Let $S=(S_k)_{k\geq 0}$ be a random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\xi=(\xi_{i})_{i\in\mathbb{Z}}$ a stationary random sequence of centered random variables, independent of $S$. We consider a random walk in random scenery that is the sequence of…

We study using large deviation theory the fluctuations of time-integrated functionals or observables of the unbiased random walk evolving on Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs, and construct a modified, biased random walk that explains how these…
