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 $\rho \in (0,\infty)$.…

It has recently been shown that networks possessing scale-free and fractal properties may exhibit a bifractal nature, in which local structures are described by two different fractal dimensions. In this study, we investigate random walks on…

Based on studies on four specific networks, we conjecture a general relation between the walk dimensions $d_{w}$ of discrete-time random walks and quantum walks with the (self-inverse) Grover coin. In each case, we find that $d_{w}$ of the…

A correlated random walk approach to diffusion is applied to the disordered nonoverlapping Lorentz gas. By invoking the Lu-Torquato theory for chord-length distributions in random media [J. Chem. Phys. 98, 6472 (1993)], an analytic…

We consider a neighbourhood random walk on a quadrant, $\{(X_1(t),X_2(t),\varphi(t)):t\geq 0\}$, with state space \begin{eqnarray*} \mathcal{S}&=&\{(n,m,i):n,m=0,1,2,\ldots;i=1,2,\ldots,k(n,m)\}. \end{eqnarray*} Assuming start in state…
