Some remarks and examples concerning the transience and recurrence of random diffusions
Consider a variant of the simple random walk on the integers, with the following transition mechanism. At each site , the probability of jumping to the right is ()∈[½, 1), until the first time the process jumps to the left from site , from which time onward the probability of jumping to the right is ½. We investigate the transience/recurrence properties of this process in both deterministic and stationary, ergodic environments {()}∈. In deterministic environments, we also study the speed of the...
We investigate the transience/recurrence of a non-Markovian, one-dimensional diffusion process which consists of a Brownian motion with a non-anticipating drift that has two phases – a transient to mode which is activated when the diffusion is sufficiently near its running maximum, and a recurrent mode which is activated otherwise. We also consider the speed of a diffusion with a two-phase drift, where the drift is equal to a certain non-negative constant when the diffusion is sufficiently near...
