The integer points (sites) of the real line are marked by the positions of a standard random walk. We say that the set of marked sites is weakly, moderately or strongly sparse depending on whether the jumps of the standard random walk are…

Consider a transient near-critical (1,2) random walk on the positive half line. We give a criteria for the finiteness of the number of the skipped points (the points never visited) by the random walk. This result generalizes (partially) the…

We consider a model for random walks on random environments (RWRE) with random subset of Z^d as the vertices, and uniform transition probabilities on 2d points (two "coordinate nearest points" in each of the d coordinate directions). We…

Random walks with a general, nonlinear barrier have found recent applications ranging from reionization topology to refinements in the excursion set theory of halos. Here, we derive the first-crossing distribution of random walks with a…

Motivated by the immense success of random walk and Markov chain methods in the design of classical algorithms, we consider_quantum_ walks on graphs. We analyse in detail the behaviour of unbiased quantum walk on the line, with the example…

We consider the two-dimensional simple random walk conditioned on never hitting the origin, which is,formally speaking, the Doob's $h$-transform of the simple random walk with respect to the potential kernel. We then study the behavior of…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of a version of the one-dimensional Mott random walk in a regime that exhibits severe blocking. We establish that, for any fixed time, the appropriately-rescaled Mott random walk is situated between two…

We investigate quantum walks in multiple dimensions with different quantum coins. We augment the model by assuming that at each step the amplitudes of the coin state are multiplied by random phases. This model enables us to study in detail…

We investigate reflected random walks in the quarter plane, with particular emphasis on the time spent along the reflection boundary axes. Assuming the drift of the random walk lies within the cone, the local time converges -- without the…

We study a family of random permutation models on the Hamming graph $H(2,n)$ (i.e., the $2$-fold Cartesian product of complete graphs), containing the interchange process and the cycle-weighted interchange process with parameter $\theta >…

We study a continuous time random walk on the $d$-dimensional lattice, subject to a drift and an attraction to large clusters of a subcritical Bernoulli site percolation. We find two distinct regimes: a ballistic one, and a subballistic one…

Coherent evolution governs the behaviour of all quantum systems, but in nature it is often subjected to influence of a classical environment. For analysing quantum transport phenomena quantum walks emerge as suitable model systems. In…

In this article we consider a natural class of random walks on free products of graphs, which arise as convex combinations of random walks on the single factors. From the works of Gilch [6,7] it is well-known that for these random walks the…
