Slowdown estimates and central limit theorem for random walks in random environment

Alain-Sol Sznitman (2000)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

This work is concerned with asymptotic properties of multi-dimensional random walks in random environment. Under Kalikow’s condition, we show a central limit theorem for random walks in random environment on $ℤ^{d}$ , when $d > 2$ . We also derive tail estimates on the probability of slowdowns. These latter estimates are of special interest due to the natural interplay between slowdowns and the presence of traps in the medium. The tail behavior of the renewal time constructed in [25] plays an important...

Excited against the tide: a random walk with competing drifts

Mark Holmes (2012)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

We study excited random walks in i.i.d. random cookie environments in high dimensions, where the $k$ th cookie at a site determines the transition probabilities (to the left and right) for the $k$ th departure from that site. We show that in high dimensions, when the expected right drift of the first cookie is sufficiently large, the velocity is strictly positive, regardless of the strengths and signs of subsequent cookies. Under additional conditions on the cookie environment, we show that...

On the existence and asymptotic behavior of the random solutions of the random integral equation with advancing argument

Henryk Gacki (1996)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similarity:

1. Introduction Random Integral Equations play a significant role in characterizing of many biological and engineering problems [4,5,6,7]. We present here new existence theorems for a class of integral equations with advancing argument. Our method is based on the notion of a measure of noncompactness in Banach spaces and the fixed point theorem of Darbo type. We shall deal with random integral equation with advancing argument $x (t, ω) = h (t, ω) + \int^{t + δ (t)} ₀ k (t, τ, ω) f (τ, x_{τ} (ω)) d τ$ , (t,ω) ∈ R⁺ × Ω, (1) where (i) (Ω,A,P) is a complete probability...

Aging and quenched localization for one-dimensional random walks in random environment in the sub-ballistic regime

Nathanaël Enriquez, Christophe Sabot, Olivier Zindy (2009)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

We consider transient one-dimensional random walks in a random environment with zero asymptotic speed. An aging phenomenon involving the generalized Arcsine law is proved using the localization of the walk at the foot of “valleys“ of height $log t$ . In the quenched setting, we also sharply estimate the distribution of the walk at time $t$ .

Perturbing transient random walk in a random environment with cookies of maximal strength

Elisabeth Bauernschubert (2013)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

We consider a left-transient random walk in a random environment on $ℤ$ that will be disturbed by cookies inducing a drift to the right of strength 1. The number of cookies per site is i.i.d. and independent of the environment. Criteria for recurrence and transience of the random walk are obtained. For this purpose we use subcritical branching processes in random environments with immigration and formulate criteria for recurrence and transience for these processes.

Random walk in random environment with asymptotically zero perturbation

M.V. Menshikov, Andrew R. Wade (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We give criteria for ergodicity, transience and null-recurrence for the random walk in random environment on $ℤ^{+} = {0, 1, 2, \dots}$ , with reflection at the origin, where the random environment is subject to a vanishing perturbation. Our results complement existing criteria for random walks in random environments and for Markov chains with asymptotically zero drift, and are significantly different from the previously studied cases. Our method is based on a martingale technique—the method of Lyapunov functions. ...

Ballistic regime for random walks in random environment with unbounded jumps and Knudsen billiards

Francis Comets, Serguei Popov (2012)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

We consider a random walk in a stationary ergodic environment in $ℤ$ , with unbounded jumps. In addition to uniform ellipticity and a bound on the tails of the possible jumps, we assume a condition of strong transience to the right which implies that there are no “traps.” We prove the law of large numbers with positive speed, as well as the ergodicity of the environment seen from the particle. Then, we consider Knudsen stochastic billiard with a drift in a random tube in $ℝ^{d}$ , $d \geq 3$ , which serves...

Semidirected random polymers: Strong disorder and localization

Nikolaos Zygouras (2010)

Actes des rencontres du CIRM

Similarity:

Semi-directed, random polymers can be modeled by a simple random walk on $Z^{d}$ in a random potential - ${(λ + β ω (x))}_{x \in Z^{d}}$ , where $λ > 0$ , $β > 0$ and ${(ω (x))}_{x \in Z^{d}}$ is a collection of i.i.d., nonnegative random variables. We identify situations where the annealed and quenched costs, that the polymer pays to perform long crossings are different. In these situations we show that the polymer exhibits localization.

Random fixed points of increasing compact random maps

Ismat Beg (2001)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

Let $(Ω, Σ)$ be a measurable space, $(E, P)$ be an ordered separable Banach space and let $[a, b]$ be a nonempty order interval in $E$ . It is shown that if $f : Ω \times [a, b] \to E$ is an increasing compact random map such that $a \leq f (ω, a)$ and $f (ω, b) \leq b$ for each $ω \in Ω$ then $f$ possesses a minimal random fixed point $α$ and a maximal random fixed point $β$ .

Random differential inclusions with convex right hand sides

Krystyna Grytczuk, Emilia Rotkiewicz (1991)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Abstract. The main result of the present paper deals with the existence of solutions of random functional-differential inclusions of the form ẋ(t, ω) ∈ G(t, ω, x(·, ω), ẋ(·, ω)) with G taking as its values nonempty compact and convex subsets of n-dimensional Euclidean space $R^{n}$ .

On the limiting velocity of random walks in mixing random environment

Xiaoqin Guo (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

We consider random walks in strong-mixing random Gibbsian environments in $ℤ^{d}$ , $d \geq 2$ . Based on regeneration arguments, we will first provide an alternative proof of Rassoul-Agha’s conditional law of large numbers (CLLN) for mixing environment ( (2005) 36–44). Then, using coupling techniques, we show that there is at most one nonzero limiting velocity in high dimensions ( $d \geq 5$ ).

On some limit distributions for geometric random sums

Marek T. Malinowski (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

We define and give the various characterizations of a new subclass of geometrically infinitely divisible random variables. This subclass, called geometrically semistable, is given as the set of all these random variables which are the limits in distribution of geometric, weighted and shifted random sums. Introduced class is the extension of, considered until now, classes of geometrically stable [5] and geometrically strictly semistable random variables [10]. All the results can be straightforward...

Critical constants for recurrence of random walks on $G$ -spaces

Anna Erschler (2005)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We introduce the notion of a critical constant $c_{r t}$ for recurrence of random walks on $G$ -spaces. For a subgroup $H$ of a finitely generated group $G$ the critical constant is an asymptotic invariant of the quotient $G$ -space $G / H$ . We show that for any infinite $G$ -space $c_{r t} \geq 1 / 2$ . We say that $G / H$ is very small if $c_{r t} < 1$ . For a normal subgroup $H$ the quotient space $G / H$ is very small if and only if it is finite. However, we give examples of infinite very small $G$ -spaces. We show also that critical constants for recurrence...

Long time behavior of random walks on abelian groups

Alexander Bendikov, Barbara Bobikau (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let be a locally compact non-compact metric group. Assuming that is abelian we construct symmetric aperiodic random walks on with probabilities $n \mapsto ℙ (S_{2 n} \in V)$ of return to any neighborhood V of the neutral element decaying at infinity almost as fast as the exponential function n ↦ exp(-n). We also show that for some discrete groups , the decay of the function $n \mapsto ℙ (S_{2 n} \in V)$ can be made as slow as possible by choosing appropriate aperiodic random walks Sₙ on .
