We consider random walks X_n in Z+, obeying a detailed balance condition, with a weak drift towards the origin when X_n tends to infinity. We reconsider the equivalence in law between a random walk bridge and a 1+1 dimensional…

We study the path behaviour of a simple random walk on the 2-dimensional comb lattice ${\mathbb C}^2$ that is obtained from ${\mathbb Z}^2$ by removing all horizontal edges off the x-axis. In particular, we prove a strong approximation…

We study the asymptotic behavior of a multidimensional random walk in a general cone. We find the tail asymptotics for the exit time and prove integral and local limit theorems for a random walk conditioned to stay in a cone. The main step…

Random walks on discrete lattices are fundamental models that form the basis for our understanding of transport and diffusion processes. For a single random walker on complex networks, many properties such as the mean first passage time and…

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…

For random walks on networks (graphs), it is a theoretical challenge to explicitly determine the mean first-passage time (MFPT) between two nodes averaged over all pairs. In this paper, we study the MFPT of random walks in the famous…
