Let $X_1,X_2,...$ be a sequence of random variables satisfying the distributional recursion $X_1=0$ and $X_n= X_{n-I_n}+1$ for $n=2,3,...$, where $I_n$ is a random variable with values in $\{1,...,n-1\}$ which is independent of…

In this paper, we propose and analyze a novel one-dimensional inhomogeneous random walk model that combines spatial decay of transition probabilities with a temporal renewal structure for each excursion. In this model, the probability of…

We discuss large deviation properties of continuous-time random walks (CTRW) and present a general expression for the large deviation rate in CTRW in terms of the corresponding rates for the distributions of steps' lengths and waiting…

Let $(S_k)_{k\ge 1}$ be the classical Bernoulli random walk on the integer line with jump parameters $p\in(0,1)$ and $q=1-p$. The probability distribution of the sojourn time of the walk in the set of non-negative integers up to a fixed…

We consider a variant of random walks on finite groups. At each step, we choose an element from a set of generators ("directions") uniformly, and an integer from a power law ("speed") distribution associated with the chosen direction. We…

We study the persistence exponent for the first passage time of a random walk below the trajectory of another random walk. More precisely, let $\{B_n\}$ and $\{W_n\}$ be two centered, weakly dependent random walks. We establish that…

In this article, we study a simple random walk on a decorated Galton-Watson tree, obtained from a Galton-Watson tree by replacing each vertex of degree $n$ with an independent copy of a graph $G_n$ and gluing the inserted graphs along the…

We study the asymptotic position distribution of general quantum walks on a lattice, including walks with a random coin, which is chosen from step to step by a general Markov chain. In the unitary (i.e., non-random) case, we allow any…

We construct a finitely generated group $G$ without the Liouville property such that the return probability of a random walk satisfies $p_{2n}(e,e) \gtrsim e^{-n^{1/2 + o(1)}}$. Recent results suggest that $1/2$ is indeed the smallest…

A random walk with echoed steps (RWES) is a process $\{\tilde{S}_n\}_{n\geq1}=\{\tilde{X}_1+\cdots+\tilde{X}_n\}_{n\geq1}$ that inserts memory and echo into an ordinary random walk (ORW) with i.i.d. steps, $X_1+\cdots+X_n$. The RWES is…

We are interested in the random walk in random environment on an infinite tree. Lyons and Pemantle [11] give a precise recurrence/transience criterion. Our paper focuses on the almost sure asymptotic behaviours of a recurrent random walk…
