We consider simple random walk on a discrete cylinder with base a large d-dimensional torus of side-length N, when d is two or more. We develop a stochastic domination control on the local picture left by the random walk in boxes of…

We obtain estimates for large and moderate deviations for the capacity of the range of a random walk on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, in dimension $d\ge 5$, both in the upward and downward directions. The results are analogous to those we obtained for…

We consider conservative cross-diffusion systems for two species where individual motion rates depend linearly on the local density of the other species. We develop duality estimates and obtain stability and approximation results. We first…

We study the entropy of the set traced by an $n$-step random walk on $\Z^d$. We show that for $d \geq 3$, the entropy is of order $n$. For $d = 2$, the entropy is of order $n/\log^2 n$. These values are essentially governed by the size of…

We consider random walks in a uniformly elliptic, balanced, i.i.d. random environment in the integer lattice $Z^d$ for $d\geq 2$ and the corresponding problem of stochastic homogenization of non-divergence form difference operators. We…

The iterated random walk is a random process in which a random walker moves on a one-dimensional random walk which is itself taking place on a one-dimensional random walk, and so on. This process is investigated in the continuum limit using…

In empirical studies of random walks, continuous trajectories of animals or individuals are usually sampled over a finite number of points in space and time. It is however unclear how this partial observation affects the measured…

Random walks as well as diffusions in random media are considered. Methods are developed that allow one to establish large deviation results for both the `quenched' and the `averaged' case.

Maximization of the entropy rate is an important issue to design diffusion processes aiming at a well-mixed state. We demonstrate that it is possible to construct maximal-entropy random walks with only local information on the graph…

We prove limit theorems for random walks with $n$ steps in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space as both $n$ and $d$ tend to infinity. One of our results states that the path of such a random walk, viewed as a compact subset of the…

We show that anomalous diffusion can result when the steps of a random walk are not statistically independent. We present an algorithm that counts all the possible paths of particles diffusing on random graphs with arbitrary degree…

We establish the discrete approximation to Brownian motion with varying dimension (BMVD in abbreviation) by random walks. The setting is very similar to that in [11], but here we use a different method allowing us to get rid the…

Graph vertex embeddings based on random walks have become increasingly influential in recent years, showing good performance in several tasks as they efficiently transform a graph into a more computationally digestible format while…
