An asymptotic expansion for the distribution of the supremum of a random walk

M. Sgibnev (2000)

Studia Mathematica

Let S n be a random walk drifting to -∞. We obtain an asymptotic expansion for the distribution of the supremum of S n which takes into account the influence of the roots of the equation 1 - e s x F ( d x ) = 0 , F being the underlying distribution. An estimate, of considerable generality, is given for the remainder term by means of submultiplicative weight functions. A similar problem for the stationary distribution of an oscillating random walk is also considered. The proofs rely on two general theorems for Laplace transforms....

Anomalous heat-kernel decay for random walk among bounded random conductances

N. Berger, M. Biskup, C. E. Hoffman, G. Kozma (2008)

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

We consider the nearest-neighbor simple random walk on ℤd, d≥2, driven by a field of bounded random conductances ωxy∈[0, 1]. The conductance law is i.i.d. subject to the condition that the probability of ωxy>0 exceeds the threshold for bond percolation on ℤd. For environments in which the origin is connected to infinity by bonds with positive conductances, we study the decay of the 2n-step return probability 𝖯 ω 2 n ( 0 , 0 ) . We prove that 𝖯 ω 2 n ( 0 , 0 ) is bounded by a random constant timesn−d/2 in d=2, 3, while it...

Asymptotic behavior of a stochastic combustion growth process

Alejandro Ramírez, Vladas Sidoravicius (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study a continuous time growth process on the d -dimensional hypercubic lattice 𝒵 d , which admits a phenomenological interpretation as the combustion reaction A + B 2 A , where A represents heat particles and B inert particles. This process can be described as an interacting particle system in the following way: at time 0 a simple symmetric continuous time random walk of total jump rate one begins to move from the origin of the hypercubic lattice; then, as soon as any random walk visits a site previously...
