Abstract

We consider the dynamics of lattice random walks with resetting. The walker moving randomly on a lattice of arbitrary dimensions resets at every time step to a given site with a constant probability rr. We construct a discrete renewal equation and present closed-form expressions for different quantities of the resetting dynamics in terms of the underlying reset-free propagator or Green's function. We apply our formalism to the biased random walk dynamics in one-dimensional unbounded space and show how one recovers in the continuous limits results for diffusion with resetting. The resetting dynamics of biased random walker in one-dimensional domain bounded with periodic and reflecting boundaries is also analyzed. Depending on the bias the first-passage probability in periodic domain shows multi-fold non-monotonicity as rr is varied. Finally, we apply our formalism to study the transmission dynamics of two lattice walkers with resetting in one-dimensional domain bounded by periodic and reflecting boundaries. The probability of a definite transmission between the walkers shows non-monotonic behavior as the resetting probabilities are varied.
