We consider a general discrete-time branching random walk on a countable set X. We relate local, strong local and global survival with suitable inequalities involving the first-moment matrix M of the process. In particular we prove that,…

We propose a discrete analogue for the boundary local time of reflected diffusions in bounded Lipschitz domains. This discrete analogue, called the discrete local time, can be effectively simulated in practice and is obtained pathwise from…

In this paper we study the probability that a $d$ dimensional simple random walk (or the first $L$ steps of it) covers each point in a nearest neighbor path connecting 0 and the boundary of an $L_1$ ball. We show that among all such paths,…

The paper deals with the asymptotic properties of a symmetric random walk in a high contrast periodic medium in $\mathbb Z^d$, $d\geq 1$. We show that under proper diffusive scaling the random walk exhibits a non-standard limit behaviour.…

The deviation principles of record numbers in random walk models have not been completely investigated, especially for the non-nearest neighbor cases. In this paper, we derive the asymptotic probabilities of large and moderate deviations…

We investigate the large deviation probabilities of first passage times (FPT) of discrete-time supercritical non-lattice branching random walks (BRWs) in $\mathbb{R}^d$ where $d\geq 1$. The FPT refers to the first time the BRW enters a ball…

We study the asymptotics for the maximum on a random time interval of a random walk with a long-tailed distribution of its increments and negative drift. We extend to a general stopping time a result by Asmussen (1998), simplify its proof,…

We obtain the leading orders of the maximum and the minimum of local times for the simple random walk on the two-dimensional torus at time proportional to the cover time. We also estimate the number of points with large (or small) values of…

We consider a variant of self-repelling random walk on the integer lattice Z where the self-repellence is defined in terms of the local time on oriented edges. The long-time asymptotic scaling of this walk is surprisingly different from the…

Consider an arbitrary transient random walk on $\Z^d$ with $d\in\N$. Pick $\alpha\in[0,\infty)$ and let $L_n(\alpha)$ be the spatial sum of the $\alpha$-th power of the $n$-step local times of the walk. Hence, $L_n(0)$ is the range,…

We consider the continuous time version of the `true' or `myopic' self-avoiding random walk with site repulsion in 1d. The Ray-Knight-type method which was applied to the discrete time and edge repulsion case, is applicable to this model…

We consider discrete-time branching random walks with a radially symmetric distribution. Independently of each other individuals generate offspring whose relative locations are given by a copy of a radially symmetric point process…

We present a systematic analytical approach to the trapping of a random walk by a finite density rho of diffusing traps in arbitrary dimension d. We confirm the phenomenologically predicted e^{-c_d rho t^{d/2}} time decay of the survival…

Attributing a positive value \tau_x to each x in Z^d, we investigate a nearest-neighbour random walk which is reversible for the measure with weights (\tau_x), often known as "Bouchaud's trap model". We assume that these weights are…

In this paper, we study a transient spatially inhomogeneous random walk with asymptotically zero drifts on the lattice of the positive half line. We give criteria for the finiteness of the number of points having exactly the same local time…

We give a local central limit theorem for simple random walks on Z^d, including Gaussian error estimates. The detailed proof combines standard large deviation techniques with Cramer-Edgeworth expansions for lattice distributions.

We evaluate the limit distribution of the maximal excursion of a random walk in any dimension for homogeneous environments and for self-similar supports under the assumption of spherical symmetry. This distribution is obtained in closed…

We consider the thick points of random walk, i.e. points where the local time is a fraction of the maximum. In two dimensions, we answer a question of Dembo, Peres, Rosen and Zeitouni and compute the number of thick points of planar random…

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…

We establish scaling limits for the random walk whose state space is the range of a simple random walk on the four-dimensional integer lattice. These concern the asymptotic behaviour of the graph distance from the origin and the spatial…
