We consider a run-and-tumble particle on a finite interval $[a,b]$ with two absorbing end points. The particle has an internal velocity state that switches between three values $v,0,-v$ at exponential times, thus incorporating positive…

Time evolutions whose infinitesimal generator is a fractional time derivative arise generally in the long time limit. Such fractional time evolutions are considered here for random walks. An exact relationship is given between the…

We consider a class of self-interacting random walks in deterministic or random environments, known as excited random walks or cookie walks, on the d-dimensional integer lattice. The main purpose of this paper is two-fold: to give a survey…

A random walk on a $N$-dimensional hypercube is a discrete time stochastic process whose state space is the set $\{-1,+1\}^{N}$, which has uniform probability of reaching any neighbour state, and probability zero of reaching a non-neighbour…

The distribution of the first positive position reached by a random walker starting at the origin is central to the analysis of extremes and records in one-dimensional random walks. In this work, we present a detailed and self-contained…

A second-order random walk on a graph or network is a random walk where transition probabilities depend not only on the present node but also on the previous one. A notable example is the non-backtracking random walk, where the walker is…

Consider a sequence {X(i,0) : i = 1, ..., n} of i.i.d. random variables. Associate to each X(i,0) an independent mean-one Poisson clock. Every time a clock rings replace that X-variable by an independent copy. In this way, we obtain i.i.d.…
