Our goal is to investigate the asymptotic behavior of the center of mass of the elephant random walk, which is a discrete-time random walk on integers with a complete memory of its whole history. In the diffusive and critical regimes, we…
The study of Markov chains on discrete spaces, such as digraphs, has captivated mathematicians in recent decades due to its interconnectedness with topology, geometry, dynamics, spectral theory, and differential equations. Furthermore,…
We study the so-called elephant random walk (ERW) which is a non-Markovian discrete-time random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$ with unbounded memory which exhibits a phase transition from diffusive to superdiffusive behaviour. We prove a law of large…
We analyze the probability distributions of the quantum walks induced from Markov chains by Szegedy (2004). The first part of this paper is devoted to the quantum walks induced from finite state Markov chains. It is shown that the…
We investigate random walks on a lattice with imperfect traps. In one dimension, we perturbatively compute the survival probability by reducing the problem to a particle diffusing on a closed ring containing just one single trap. Numerical…
Let G be a free product of a finite family of finite groups, with the set of generators being formed by the union of the finite groups. We consider a transient nearest-neighbour random walk on G. We give a new proof of the fact that the…
In the eighties, A. Connes and E. J. Woods made a connection between hyperfinite von Neumann algebras and Poisson boundaries of time dependent random walks. The present paper explains this connection and gives a detailed proof of two…
A quantum walk is the quantum analogue of a random walk. While it is relatively well understood how quantum walks can speed up random walk hitting times, it is a long-standing open question to what extent quantum walks can speed up the…
When the memory parameter of the elephant random walk is above a critical threshold, the process becomes superdiffusive and, once suitably normalised, converges to a non-Gaussian random variable. In a recent paper by the three first…
We introduce a new method for proving central limit theorems for random walk on nilpotent groups. The method is illustrated in a local central limit theorem on the Heisenberg group, weakening the necessary conditions on the driving measure.…
We study a new technique for the asymptotic analysis of heavy-tailed systems conditioned on large deviations events. We illustrate our approach in the context of ruin events of multidimensional regularly varying random walks. Our approach…
Given a DFA we consider the random walk that starts at the initial state and at each time step moves to a new state by taking a random transition from the current state. This paper shows that for typical DFA this random walk induces an…
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…
In this paper, we obtain a local limit theorem for the Kemperman's model of oscillating random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$; it extends the existing results for classical random walks on $\mathbb Z$ or reflected random walks on $\mathbb N_0$. The…
Random walks are ubiquitous in the sciences, and they are interesting from both theoretical and practical perspectives. They are one of the most fundamental types of stochastic processes; can be used to model numerous phenomena, including…
The one-dimensional elephant random walk is a typical model of discrete-time random walk with step-reinforcement, and is introduced by Sch\"{u}tz and Trimper (2004). It has a parameter $\alpha \in (-1,1)$: The case $\alpha=0$ corresponds to…
We investigate quantum walks in multiple dimensions with different quantum coins. We augment the model by assuming that at each step the amplitudes of the coin state are multiplied by random phases. This model enables us to study in detail…
We introduce a general class of random walks on the $N$-hypercube, study cut-off for the mixing time, and provide several types of representation for the transition probabilities. We observe that for a sub-class of these processes with long…
In arbitrary spatial dimension $d\ge 1$, we study a generalized model of random walks in a time-varying random environment (RWRE) defined by a stochastic flow of kernels. We consider the quenched probability distribution of the random…
We give a complete and unified description -- under some stability assumptions -- of the functional scaling limits associated with some persistent random walks for which the recurrent or transient type is studied in [1]. As a result, we…
