The universal mechanism of trapping and localization of sufficiently slow-speed particles by a potential well deepening with time is established on the basis of fundamental relations of classical mechanics. Such wells may be created for a…

We consider large deviations for nearest-neighbor random walk in a uniformly elliptic i.i.d. environment on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. There exist variational formulae for the quenched and averaged rate functions $I_q$ and $I_a$, obtained by…

This elementary treatment first summarizes extreme values of a Bernoulli random walk on the one-dimensional integer lattice over a finite discrete time interval. Both the symmetric (unbiased) and asymmetric (biased) cases are discussed.…

In this paper, we introduce a notion called "Approximate Ultrametricity" which encapsulates the phenomenology of a sequence of random probability measures having supports that behave like ultrametric spaces insofar as they decompose into…

Given $n$ i.i.d. observations, we study the problem of estimating the spectrum of weighted Laplace operators of the form $\Delta_f=\Delta + \alpha \nabla \log f\cdot \nabla$, where $f$ is a positive probability density on a known compact…

We obtain an asymptotic evaluation of the integral \[\int_{\sqrt{2n+1}}^\infty e^{-x^2} H_n^2(x)\,dx\] for $n\rightarrow\infty$, where $H_n(x)$ is the Hermite polynomial. This integral is used to determine the probability for the quantum…

We extend to the gamut of functional forms of the probability distribution of the time-dependent step-length a previous model dubbed Elephant Quantum Walk, which considers a uniform distribution and yields hyperballistic dynamics where the…

A survey is presented of known results concerning simple random walk on the class of distance-regular graphs. One of the highlights is that electric resistance and hitting times between points can be explicitly calculated and given strong…

In this paper, we consider the subcritical branching random walk in a random environment. We assume the branching and the step jump are independent; and the branching is in random envirenment, i.e., the particles in generation $n$ produce…

We construct harmonic functions in the quarter plane for discrete Laplace operators. In particular, the functions are conditioned to vanish on the boundary and the Laplacians admit coefficients associated with transition probabilities of…

In this paper, we obtain a local limit theorem for the Kemperman's model of oscillating random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$; it extends the existing results for classical random walks on $\mathbb Z$ or reflected random walks on $\mathbb N_0$. The…

We consider a random walk $(Y_N)_{N\geq 0}$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ generated by successively applying independent random isometries, drawn from a fixed measure $\mu$, to the point $0$. When the support of $\mu$ is finite and includes an…

We study, on a $d$ dimensional hypercubic lattice, a random walk which is homogeneous except for one site. Instead of visiting this site, the walker hops over it with arbitrary rates. The probability distribution of this walk and the…

We consider a one-dimensional simple symmetric exclusion process in equilibrium, constituting a dynamic random environment for a nearest-neighbor random walk that on occupied/vacant sites has two different local drifts to the right. We…

We study the maximal displacement of branching random walks in a class of time inhomogeneous environments. Specifically, binary branching random walks with Gaussian increments will be considered, where the variances of the increments change…

We show that the family of probability measures on the $n$-dimensional unit sphere, having density proportional to: \[ S^n \ni y \mapsto \frac{1}{|y - x|^{n+\alpha}}, \] satisfies the Curvature-Dimension condition…

The parametric maximum likelihood estimation problem is addressed in the context of quantum walk theory for quantum walks on the lattice of integers. A coin action is presented, with the real parameter $\theta$ to be estimated identified…

Consider an arbitrary transient random walk on $\Z^d$ with $d\in\N$. Pick $\alpha\in[0,\infty)$ and let $L_n(\alpha)$ be the spatial sum of the $\alpha$-th power of the $n$-step local times of the walk. Hence, $L_n(0)$ is the range,…

We obtain Central Limit Theorems in Functional form for a class of time-inhomogeneous interacting random walks on the simplex of probability measures over a finite set. Due to a reinforcement mechanism, the increments of the walks are…

Using simple methods of asymptotic analysis it is shown that for a quantum harmonic oscillator in n-th energy eigenstate the probability of tunneling into the classically forbidden region obeys an unexpected but simple asymptotic formula:…
