The paper deals with the asymptotic properties of a random jump process in a high contrast periodic medium in $\mathbb R^d$, $d\geq 1$. We show that if the coordinates of the random jump process in $\mathbb R^d$ are equipped with an extra…

We consider a pure jump process $\{X_t\}_{t\ge 0}$ with values in a finite state space $S= \{1, \ldots, d\}$ for which the jump rates at time instant $t$ depend on the occupation measure $L_t \doteq t^{-1} \int_0^t \delta_{X_s}\,ds$. Such…

In this paper we introduce non-decreasing jump processes with independent and time non-homogeneous increments. Although they are not L\'evy processes, they somehow generalize subordinators in the sense that their Laplace exponents are…

A step-reinforced random walk is a discrete-time non-Markovian process with long range memory. At each step, with a fixed probability p, the positively step-reinforced random walk repeats one of its preceding steps chosen uniformly at…

We consider the task of generating draws from a Markov jump process (MJP) between two time-points at which the process is known. Resulting draws are typically termed bridges and the generation of such bridges plays a key role in…

The aim of our work is to study vertex-reinforced jump processes with super-linear weight function $w(t) = t^\alpha$ , for some $\alpha>1$. On any complete graph $G = (V, E)$, we prove that there is one vertex $v \in V$ such that the total…
