We study the expected distance of short uniform random walks in arbitrary dimensions with unit steps in random directions. It is known that for dimensions $d=2$ and $d=4$, all the moments of an $m$-step walk are integer. While for $d=2$,…

For a positive integer $n$, we study the number of steps to reach $n$ by a {\it Fibonacci walk} for some starting pair $a_1$ and $a_2$ satisfying the recurrence of $a_{k+2}=a_{k+1}+a_k$. The problem of slow Fibonacci walks, first suggested…

This article presents SAWdoubler, a package for counting the total number Z(N) of self-avoiding walks (SAWs) on a regular lattice by the length-doubling method, of which the basic concept has been published previously by us. We discuss an…

We simulate loop-erased random walks on simple (hyper-)cubic lattices of dimensions 2,3, and 4. These simulations were mainly motivated to test recent two loop renormalization group predictions for logarithmic corrections in $d=4$,…

Recently, Bostan and his coauthors investigated lattice walks restricted to the non-negative octant $\mathbb{N}^3$. For the $35548$ non-trivial models with at most six steps, they found that many models associated to a group of order at…

We consider planar lattice walks that start from (0,0), remain inthe first quadrant i, j >= 0, and are made of three types of steps: North-East, West and South. These walks are known to have remarkable enumerative and probabilistic…

Consider non-negative lattice paths ending at their maximum height, which will be called admissible paths. We show that the probability for a lattice path to be admissible is related to the Chebyshev polynomials of the first or second kind,…

Let $M_n$ be the number of steps of the loop-erasure of a simple random walk on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ from the origin to the circle of radius $n$. We relate the moments of $M_n$ to $Es(n)$, the probability that a random walk and an independent…

In this paper, we study a family of lattice walks which are related to the Hadamard conjecture. There is a bijection between paths of these walks which originate and terminate at the origin and equivalence classes of partial Hadamard…

Consider a one dimensional simple random walk $X=(X_n)_{n\geq0}$. We form a new simple symmetric random walk $Y=(Y_n)_{n\geq0}$ by taking sums of products of the increments of $X$ and study the two-dimensional walk…

Here, we show that if $u_n=n2^n\pm 1$, then the largest prime factor of $u_n\pm m!$ for $n\ge 0,~m\ge 2$ tends to infinity with $\max\{m,n\}$. In particular, the largest $n$ participating in the equation $u_n\pm m!=2^a3^b5^c7^d$ with $n\ge…

Consider $n$ $d$-dimensional vectors with iid entries from a lattice distribution $X$. We show that the probability that all distances between them are equal is asymptotically \[ C_n\cdot\frac{1}{d^{(m-1)/2}} \quad \text{for} \quad d \to…

Rotor walk is deterministic counterpart of random walk on graphs. We study that under a certain initial configuration in Z^d, n particles perform rotor walks from the origin consecutively. They would stop if they hit the origin or infinity.…

We consider the enumeration of walks on the two dimensional non-negative integer lattice with short steps. Up to isomorphism there are 79 unique two dimensional models to consider, and previous work in this area has used the kernel method,…

In this paper, we are interested in the asymptotic behaviour of the sequence of processes $(W_n(s,t))_{s,t\in[0,1]}$ with \begin{equation*} W_n(s,t):=\sum_{k=1}^{\lfloor nt\rfloor}\big(1_{\{\xi_{S_k}\leq s\}}-s\big) \end{equation*} where…

In the past fifteen years, the enumeration of lattice walks with steps takenin a prescribed set S and confined to a given cone, especially the firstquadrant of the plane, has been intensely studied. As a result, the generating functions…

We investigate a problem suggested by Dembo, Peres, Rosen, and Zeitouni, which states that the growth exponent of favorite points associated with a simple random walk in ${\mathbb Z}^2$ coincides, on average and almost surely, with those of…

In this paper, we study (1,2) and (2,1) random walks in varying environments on the lattice of positive half line. We assume that the transition probabilities at site $n$ are asymptotically constants as $n\rightarrow\infty.$ For (1,2)…

We study the area distribution of closed walks of length $n$, beginning and ending at the origin. The concept of area of a walk in the square lattice is generalized and the usefulness of the new concept is demonstrated through a simple…

We develop an approach for performing scaling analysis of $N$-step Random Walks (RWs). The mean square end-to-end distance, $\langle\vec{R}_{N}^{2}\rangle$, is written in terms of inner persistence lengths (IPLs), which we define by the…
