For any integers $k\geq 2$, $q\geq 1$ and any finite set $\mathcal{A}=\{{\boldsymbol{\alpha}}_1,\cdots,{\boldsymbol{\alpha}}_q\}$, where ${ \boldsymbol{\alpha}_t}=(\alpha_{t,1},\cdots,\alpha_{t,k})~(1\leq t\leq q)$ with…

The relative density of visible points of the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is known to be $1/\zeta(d)$ for $d\geq 2$, where $\zeta$ is Riemann's zeta function. In this paper we prove that the relative density of visible points in the…

We consider the possible visits to visible points of a random walker moving up and right in the integer lattice (with probability $\alpha$ and $1-\alpha$, respectively) and starting from the origin. We show that, almost surely, the…

It is a well-known result that the proportion of lattice points visible from the origin is given by $\frac{1}{\zeta(2)}$, where $\zeta(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{n^s}$ denotes the Riemann zeta function. Goins, Harris, Kubik and Mbirika,…

We consider the proportion of generalized visible lattice points in the plane visited by random walkers. Our work concerns the visible lattice points in random walks in three aspects: (1) generalized visibility along curves; (2) one random…

Two lattice points are visible from one another if there is no lattice point on the open line segment joining them. Let $S$ be a finite subset of $\mathbb{Z}^k$. The asymptotic density of the set of lattice points, visible from all points…

Let $\mathbb{Z}^2$ be the two-dimensional integer lattice. For an integer $k\geq 1$, a non-zero lattice point is $k$-free if the greatest common divisor of its coordinates is a $k$-free number. We consider the proportions of $k$-free and…

Following Hales (2018), the evolution of P\'olya's urn may be interpreted as a walk, a P\'olya walk, on the integer lattice $\mathbb{N}^2$. We study the visibility properties of P\'olya's walk or, equivalently, the divisibility properties…

We revisit the simple lattice random walk (P\'{o}lya walk) and the Sisyphus random walk in $\mathbb{Z}$, in the presence of random restarts. We use a relatively direct approach namely First passage under restart for discrete space and time…

It is classically known that the proportion of lattice points visible from the origin via functions of the form $f(x)=nx$ with $n\in \mathbb{Q}$ is $\frac{1}{\zeta(2)}$ where $\zeta(s)$ is the classical Reimann zeta function. Goins, Harris,…

We obtain the joint distribution $P_N (X, K|Z)$ of the location $X$ of a one-dimensional symmetric next neighbor random walk on the integer lattice, and the number of times the walk has visited a specified site $Z$. This distribution has a…

We study the persistent random walk of photons on a one-dimensional lattice of random asymmetric transmittances. Each site is characterized by its intensity transmittance t (t') for photons moving to the right (left) direction.…

For a fixed $b\in\mathbb{N}=\{1,2,3,\ldots\}$ we say that a point $(r,s)$ in the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}$ is $b$-visible from the origin if it lies on the graph of a power function $f(x)=ax^b$ with $a\in\mathbb{Q}$ and…

It is well known that a positive proportion of all points in a $d$-dimensional lattice is visible from the origin, and that these visible lattice points have constant density in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In the present paper we prove an analogous…

A lattice point $\vec x=(x_1,\dots,x_n)\in\mathbb Z^{n}$ is said to be visible if the line segment between $\vec x$ and the origin contains no other lattice point. In this paper, we compute the asymptotic density of visible lattice points…

The recurrence properties of random walks can be characterized by P\'{o}lya number, i.e., the probability that the walker has returned to the origin at least once. In this paper, we consider recurrence properties for a general 1D random…

We present an easy proof of Polya's theorem on random walks: with the probability one a random walk on the two-dimensional lattice returns to the starting point.

We consider a random walk on a homogeneous space $G/\Lambda$ where $G$ is $\mathrm{SO}(2,1)$ or $\mathrm{SO}(3,1)$ and $\Lambda$ is a lattice. The walk is driven by a probability measure $\mu$ on $G$ whose support generates a Zariski-dense…

We consider the percolation problem of sites on an $L\times L$ square lattice with periodic boundary conditions which were unvisited by a random walk of $N=uL^2$ steps, i.e. are vacant. Most of the results are obtained from numerical…

The Riemann walk is the lattice version of the Levy flight. For the one-dimensional Riemann walk of Levy exponent 0<\alpha<2 we study the statistics of the support, i.e. the set of visited sites, after t steps. We consider a wide class of…
