In this paper, we study the number of moves in a multidimensional elephant random walk with stops. We establish several convergence results for the number of moves, including the law of large numbers and the law of iterated logarithm. Using…
Quantum walks have emerged as an interesting approach to quantum information processing, exhibiting many unique properties compared to the analogous classical random walk. Here we introduce a model for a discrete-time quantum walk with…
We consider a minimal model of one-dimensional discrete-time random walk with step-reinforcement, introduced by Harbola, Kumar, and Lindenberg (2014): The walker can move forward (never backward), or remain at rest. For each $n=1,2,\cdots$,…
The randomized play-the-winner rule (RPW) is a response-adaptive design proposed by Wei and Durham (1978) for sequentially randomizing patients to treatments in a two-treatment clinical trial so that more patients are assigned to the better…
Random walks process on networks plays a fundamental role in understanding the importance of nodes and the similarity of them, which has been widely applied in PageRank, information retrieval, and community detection, etc. Individual's…
We give a short proof of the recurrence of the two-dimensional elephant random walk in the diffusive regime. This was recently established by Shuo Qin, but our proof only uses very rough comparison with the standard plane random walk. We…
The one-dimensional elephant random walk is a typical model of discrete-time random walk with step-reinforcement, and is introduced by Sch\"{u}tz and Trimper (2004). It has a parameter $\alpha \in (-1,1)$: The case $\alpha=0$ corresponds to…
Recently, the elephant random walk has attracted a lot of attentions. A wide range of literature is available for the asymptotic behavior of the process, such as the central limit theorems, functional limit theorems and the law of iterated…
We show that two independent elephant random walks on the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}$ meet each other finitely often or infinitely often depends on whether the memory parameter $p$ is strictly larger than $3/4$ or not. Asymptotic results…
We study the gambler's ruin problem for the Elephant Random Walk, focusing on escape time from a symmetric interval of the form $\{-N, \ldots, N\}$. As our main result, we derive tight exponential bounds for the tail of this escape time. We…
Elephant random walks were studied recently in \cite{mukherjee2025elephant} on the groups $\mathbb{Z}^{*d_1} * \mathbb{Z}_2^{*d_2}$ whose Cayley graphs are infinite $d$-regular trees with $d = 2d_1 + d_2$. It was found that for $d \ge 3$,…
We introduce a new random walk with unbounded memory obtained as a mixture of the Elephant Random Walk and the Dynamic Random Walk which we call the Dynamic Elephant Random Walk (DERW). As a consequence of this mixture the distribution of…
We consider the elephant random walk with general step distribution. We calculate the first four moments of the limiting distribution of the position rescaled by $n^\alpha$ in the superdiffusive regime where $\alpha$ is the memory…
We study the Takagi-van der Waerden functions $f_r (x)$, a well-known class of continuous but nowhere differentiable functions, from probabilistic point of view. As an application of elephant random walks remembering the very recent past…
We consider a randomized urn model with objects of finitely many colors. The replacement matrices are random, and are conditionally independent of the color chosen given the past. Further, the conditional expectations of the replacement…
We explore the impact of long-range memory on the properties of a family of quantum walks in a one-dimensional lattice and discrete time, which can be understood as the quantum version of the classical "Elephant Random Walk" non-Markovian…
Our goal is to investigate the asymptotic behavior of the center of mass of the elephant random walk, which is a discrete-time random walk on integers with a complete memory of its whole history. In the diffusive and critical regimes, we…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the number of times the elephant random walk in the critical regime visits the origin. Our result entails that most zeros of the critical elephant random walk occur shortly before its last passage time…
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=…
The aim of this paper is to investigate the asymptotic behavior of the so-called elephant random walk with stops (ERWS). In contrast with the standard elephant random walk, the elephant is allowed to be lazy by staying on his own position.…
