We study the second order of the number of excursions of a simple random walk with a bias that drives a return toward the origin along the axes introduced by P. Andreoletti and P. Debs \cite{AndDeb3}. This is a crucial step toward deriving…
We study a simple random walk on Z^2 with constraints on the axis. Motivation comes from physics when particles (a gas for example, see [Dal88]) are submitted to a local field. In our case we assume that the particle evolves freely in the…
We consider transient random walks on a strip in a random environment. The model was introduced by Bolthausen and Goldsheid [Comm. Math. Phys. 214 (2000) 429--447]. We derive a strong law of large numbers for the random walks in a general…
The motion of self-propelled particles is modeled as a persistent random walk. An analytical framework is developed that allows the derivation of exact expressions for the time evolution of arbitrary moments of the persistent walk's…
We survey recent results of normal and anomalous diffusion of two types of random motions with long memory in ${\Bbb R}^d$ or ${\Bbb Z}^d$. The first class consists of random walks on ${\Bbb Z}^d$ in divergence-free random drift field,…
We consider a model of random walk in ${\mathbb Z}^2$ with (fixed or random) orientation of the horizontal lines (layers) and with non constant iid probability to stay on these lines. We prove the transience of the walk for any fixed…
Motivated by various recent experimental findings, we propose a dynamical model of intermittently self-propelled particles: active particles that recurrently switch between two modes of motion, namely an active run-state and a turn state,…
We consider the random walk of a particle in a two-dimensional self-affine random potential of Hurst exponent $H=1/2$ in the presence of an external force $F$. We present numerical results on the statistics of first-passage times that…
Random walks in random scenery are processes defined by $Z_n:=\sum_{k=1}^n\xi_{X_1+...+X_k}$, where $(X_k,k\ge 1)$ and $(\xi_y,y\in\mathbb Z)$ are two independent sequences of i.i.d. random variables. We assume here that their distributions…
The dynamics of a test particle interacting with diffusing impurities in one dimension is investigated analytically and numerically. In the absence of an applied external force, the dynamics of the particle can be characterized by a…
We introduce random walks in a sparse random environment on $\mathbb Z$ and investigate basic asymptotic properties of this model, such as recurrence-transience, asymptotic speed, and limit theorems in both the transient and recurrent…
Random Walks in Dirichlet Environment (RWDE) correspond to Random Walks in Random Environment (RWRE) on $\Bbb{Z}^d$ where the transition probabilities are i.i.d. at each site with a Dirichlet distribution. Hence, the model is parametrized…
Random walkers characterized by random positions and random velocities lead to normal diffusion. A random walk was originally proposed by Einstein to model Brownian motion and to demonstrate the existence of atoms and molecules. Such a…
We define a random walk of a particle in $\mathbb{R}^3$ where the space is rotating. The particle is not glued to the space and will collide with it at random times, resulting in changes in its velocity and direction. After many collisions,…
A global picture of a random particle movement is given by the convex hull of the visited points. We obtained numerically the probability distributions of the volume and surface of the convex hulls of a selection of three types of…
We consider a broad class of Continuous Time Random Walks with large fluctuations effects in space and time distributions: a random walk with trapping, describing subdiffusion in disordered and glassy materials, and a L\'evy walk process,…
We consider a generalized version of a directionally reinforced random walk, which was originally introduced by Mauldin, Monticino, and von Weizs\"{a}cker in \cite{drw}. Our main result is a stable limit theorem for the position of the…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the simple random walk on oriented versions of $\mathbb{Z}^2$. The considered lattices are not directed on the vertical axis but unidirectional on the horizontal one, with random orientations whose…
We consider a continuous-time random walk which is defined as an interpolation of a random walk on a point process on the real line. The distances between neighboring points of the point process are i.i.d. random variables in the normal…
We study the biased random walk in positive random conductances on $\mathbb {Z}^d$. This walk is transient in the direction of the bias. Our main result is that the random walk is ballistic if, and only if, the conductances have finite…
