Excited against the tide: a random walk with competing drifts

Mark Holmes (2012)

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

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 the limiting...

Excursions of diffusion processes and continued fractions

Alain Comtet, Yves Tourigny (2011)

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

It is well-known that the excursions of a one-dimensional diffusion process can be studied by considering a certain Riccati equation associated with the process. We show that, in many cases of interest, the Riccati equation can be solved in terms of an infinite continued fraction. We examine the probabilistic significance of the expansion. To illustrate our results, we discuss some examples of diffusions in deterministic and in random environments.

Excursions of the integral of the brownian motion

Emmanuel Jacob (2010)

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

The integrated brownian motion is sometimes known as the Langevin process. Lachal studied several excursion laws induced by the latter. Here we follow a different point of view developed by Pitman for general stationary processes. We first construct a stationary Langevin process and then determine explicitly its stationary excursion measure. This is then used to provide new descriptions of Itô’s excursion measure of the Langevin process reflected at a completely inelastic boundary, which has been...
