The usual random walk on a group (homogeneous both in time and in space) is determined by a probability measure on the group. In a random walk with random transition probabilities this single measure is replaced with a stationary sequence…

We study the branching random walk on weighted graphs; site-breeding and edge-breeding branching random walks on graphs are seen as particular cases. We describe the strong critical value in terms of a geometrical parameter of the graph. We…

Models of random walks are considered in which walkers are born at one location and die at all other locations with uniform death rate. Steady-state distributions of random walkers exhibit dimensionally dependent critical behavior as a…

We consider random self-avoiding walks between two points on the boundary of a finite subdomain of Z^d (the probability of a self-avoiding trajectory gamma is proportional to mu^{-length(gamma)}). We show that the random trajectory becomes…

Let $\xi_1$, $\xi_2,\ldots$ be i.i.d. random variables of zero mean and finite variance and $\eta_1$, $\eta_2,\ldots$ positive i.i.d. random variables whose distribution belongs to the domain of attraction of an $\alpha$-stable…

A cyclic random walk is a random walk whose transition probabilities/rates can be written as a superposition of the empirical measures of a family of finite cycles. This identifies a convex set of models. We discuss the problem of…

Let $\left\{ Z_{n},n=0,1,2,...\right\} $ be a critical branching process in random environment and let $\left\{ S_{n},n=0,1,2,...\right\} $ be its associated random walk. It is known that if the increments of this random walk belong…

We study the pairwise annihilation process $A+A\to$ inert of a number of random walkers, which originally are localized in a small region in space. The size of the colony and the typical distance between particles increases with time and,…

We consider a random walk on $\R^d$ in a polynomially mixing random environment that is refreshed at each time step. We use a martingale approach to give a necessary and sufficient condition for the almost-sure functional central limit…

In this paper we study a random walk in a one-dimensional dynamic random environment consisting of a collection of independent particles performing simple symmetric random walks in a Poisson equilibrium with density $\rho \in (0,\infty)$.…

We consider the critical spread-out contact process in $\Zd$ with $d\geq 1$, whose infection range is denoted by $L\geq1$. The two-point function $\tau_t(x)$ is the probability that $x\in\Zd$ is infected at time $t$ by the infected…

We consider oriented percolation on Z^d times Z_+ whose bond-occupation probability is pD(...), where p is the percolation parameter and D is a probability distribution on Z^d. Suppose that D(x) decays as |x|^{-d-\alpha} for some \alpha>0.…

We prove the existence of uncountably many positive harmonic functions for random walks on the euclidean lattice with non-zero drift, killed when leaving two dimensional convex cones with vertex in 0. Our proof is an adaption of the proof…

Random walks over directed graphs are used to model activities in many domains, such as social networks, influence propagation, and Bayesian graphical models. They are often used to compute the importance or centrality of individual nodes…

Graph-limit theory focuses on the convergence of sequences of graphs when the number of nodes becomes arbitrarily large. This framework defines a continuous version of graphs allowing for the study of dynamical systems on very large graphs,…

Several stochastic processes modeling molecular motors on a linear track are given by random walks (not necessarily Markovian) on quasi 1d lattices and share a common regenerative structure. Analyzing this abstract common structure, we…

We establish recurrence and transience criteria for critical branching processes in random environment with immigration. These results are then applied to discuss recurrence and transience of a recurrent random walk in a random environment…

We consider branching random walks in $d$-dimensional integer lattice with time-space i.i.d. offspring distributions. This model is known to exhibit a phase transition: If $d \ge 3$ and the environment is "not too random", then, the total…

We present a new proof of $|x|^{-(d-2)}$ decay of critical two-point functions for spread-out statistical mechanical models on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ above the upper critical dimension, based on the lace expansion and assuming appropriate…

Bak, Tang, and Wiesenfeld developed their theory of self-organized criticality in the late 1980s to explain why many real-life processes exhibit signs of critical behavior despite the absence of a tuning parameter. A decade later, Dickman,…
