Abstract

We study an extension of the generalized excited random walk (GERW) on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d introduced in [Ann. Probab. 40 (5), 2012, [7]] by Menshikov, Popov, Ram\'irez and Vachkovskaia. Our extension consists in studying a version of the GERW where excitation depends on a random environment. Given p(0,1]p \in (0,1] (a parameter of the model) whenever the process visits a site for the first time, with probability pp it gains a drift in a given direction (could be any direction of the unit sphere). Otherwise, with probability 1p1-p, it behaves as a dd-martingale with zero-mean vector. Whenever the process visits an already-visited site, the process acts again as a dd-martingale with zero-mean vector. We refer to the model as a GERW in Bernoulli environment, in short pp-GERW. Under the same hypothesis of [7] (bounded jumps, uniform ellipticity), we show that the pp-GERW is ballistic for all p(0,1]p\in (0,1]. Under the stronger assumptions that the increments of the regeneration times associated to the pp-GERW are i.i.d. (condition which is satisfied, for example, for the excited random walk in a Bernoulli i.i.d. environment), we also obtain a Law of Large Numbers and a Central Limit Theorem.
