A natural extension of a right-continuous integer-valued random walk is one which can jump to the right by one or two units. First passage times above a given fixed level then admit a tractable Laplace transform (probability generating…

We study the asymptotic probability that a random walk with heavy-tailed increments crosses a high boundary on a random time interval. We use new techniques to extend results of Asmussen [Ann. Appl. Probab. 8 (1998) 354-374] to completely…

The speed $v(\beta)$ of a $\beta$-biased random walk on a Galton-Watson tree without leaves is increasing for $\beta \geq 717$.

We consider a branching random walk with an absorbing barrier, where the step of the associated one-dimensional random walk is in the domain of attraction of an $\alpha$-stable law with $1<\alpha<2$. We shall prove that there is a barrier…

We study nearest-neighbors branching random walks started from a point at the interior of a hypercube. We show that the probability that the process escapes the hypercube is monotonically decreasing with respect to the distance of its…

We derive a local limit theorem for normal, moderate, and large deviations for symmetric simple random walk on the square lattice in dimensions one and two that is an improvement of existing results for points that are particularly distant…

We prove a conjecture by Bertoin that the multi-dimensional elephant random walk on $\mathbb{Z}^d$($d\geq 3$) is transient and the expected number of zeros is finite. We also provide some estimates on the rate of escape. In dimensions $d=…

We study coupled random walks in the plane such that, at each step, the walks change direction by a uniform random angle plus an extra deterministic angle \theta. We compute the Hausdorff dimension of the \theta for which the walk has an…

We study the motion of two non-interacting quantum particles performing a random walk on a line and analyze the probability that the two particles are detected at a particular position after a certain number of steps (meeting problem). The…

We consider Random Walk in Random Scenery, denoted $X_n$, where the random walk is symmetric on $Z^d$, with $d>4$, and the random field is made up of i.i.d random variables with a stretched exponential tail decay, with exponent $\alpha$…

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…

Sood and Grassberger studied in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 098701 (2007)] random walks on random graphs that are biased towards a fixed target point. They put forward a critical bias strength b_c such that a random walker on an infinite graph…

We consider a recurrent random walk of i.i.d. increments on the one-dimensional integer lattice and obtain a formula relating the hitting distribution of a half-line with the potential function, $a(x)$, of the random walk. Applying it, we…

We introduce a Gibbs measure on nearest-neighbour paths of length $t$ in the Euclidean $d$-dimensional lattice, where each path is penalised by a factor proportional to the size of its boundary and an inverse temperature $\beta$. We prove…

We study random walk on complex networks with transition probabilities which depend on the current and previously visited nodes. By using an absorbing Markov chain we derive an exact expression for the mean first passage time between pairs…

The random walk with hyperbolic probabilities that we are introducing is an example of stochastic diffusion in a one-dimensional heterogeneous media. Although driven by site-dependent one-step transition probabilities, the process retains…

We consider two random walks evolving synchronously on a random out-regular graph of $n$ vertices with bounded out-degree $r\ge 2$, also known as a random Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA). We show that, with high probability with…

We study biased random walk on the infinite connected component of supercritical percolation on the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for $d\geq 2$. For this model, Fribergh and Hammond showed the existence of an exponent $\gamma$ such that:…

We consider biased random walks on the infinite cluster of a conditional bond percolation model on the infinite ladder graph. Axelsson-Fisk and H\"aggstr\"om established for this model a phase transition for the asymptotic linear speed…

We tackle some fundamental problems in probability theory on corrupted random processes on the integer line. We analyze when a biased random walk is expected to reach its bottommost point and when intervals of integer points can be detected…
