We study the asymptotic distribution of random walks on $\mathbb Z^d$ ($d\ge1$) in deterministic reversible environments defined by an assignment of a positive conductance to each edge of $\mathbb Z^d$. We identify a deterministic set of…
We study the strong form of the ballistic conjecture for random walks in random environments (RWRE). This conjecture asserts that any RWRE which is directionally transient for a nonempty open set of directions satisfies condition $(T)$…
We introduce the concept of a deterministic walk. Confining our attention to the finite state case, we establish hypotheses that ensure that the deterministic walk is transitive, and show that this property is in some sense robust. We also…
A study of persistence dynamics is made for the first time in a quantum system by considering the dynamics of a quantum random walk. For a discrete walk on a line starting at $x=0$ at time $t=0$, the persistence probability $P(x,t)$ that a…

In this paper we develop a random walk model on lattice for coordinate dependent diffusion at constant temperature in contact with a heat bath. We employ here a coordinate dependent waiting time of the random walker to make the diffusivity…

We consider a ballistic random walk in an i.i.d. random environment that does not allow retreating in a certain fixed direction. We prove an invariance principle (functional central limit theorem) under almost every fixed environment. The…
We consider a one dimensional random walk in random environment that is uniformly biased to one direction. In addition to the transition probability, the jump rate of the random walk is assumed to be spatially inhomogeneous and random. We…

We introduce a persistent random walk model with finite velocity and self-reinforcing directionality, which explains how exponentially distributed runs self-organize into truncated L\'evy walks observed in active intracellular transport by…
In this paper we consider a particular version of the random walk with restarts: random reset events which bring suddenly the system to the starting value. We analyze its relevant statistical properties like the transition probability and…
A rather simple random walk model on a one-dimensional lattice is put forward. The lattice as a whole switches randomly between two possible states which are spatially symmetric. Both lattice states are identical, but translated by one site…
We propose two nonlinear random walk models which are suitable for the analysis of both chemotaxis and anomalous transport. We derive the balance equations for the population density for the case when the transition rate for a random walk…
Dynamical systems having many coexisting attractors present interesting properties from both fundamental theoretical and modelling points of view. When such dynamics is under bounded random perturbations, the basins of attraction are no…
We study biased random walks on dynamical percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We establish a law of large numbers and an invariance principle for the random walk using regeneration times. Moreover, we verify that the Einstein relation holds, and…
We consider the single-file dynamics of $N$ identical random walkers moving with diffusivity $D$ in one dimension (walkers bounce off each other when attempting to overtake). Additionally, we require that the separation between neighboring…
We calculate the diffusion coefficients of persistent random walks on cubic and hypercubic lattices, where the direction of a walker at a given step depends on the memory of one or two previous steps. These results are then applied to study…
The Random Walk Pinning Model (RWPM) is a statistical mechanics model in which the trajectory of a continuous time random walk $X=(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$ is rewarded according to the time it spends together with a moving catalyst. More…
