Abstract
We present the first rigorous quantitative analysis of once-reinforced random walks (ORRW) on general graphs, based on a novel change of measure formula.~This enables us to prove large deviations estimates for the range of the walk to have cardinality of the order in dimension larger than or equal than two. We also prove that ORRW is transient on all non-amenable graphs for small reinforcement.~Moreover, we study the shape of oriented ORRW on euclidean lattices. We also provide a new approach to the study of general self-interacting random walk, which we apply to random walk in random environment, reinforced processes on oriented graphs, including the directed ORRW.
