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...

Universality of the asymptotics of the one-sided exit problem for integrated processes

Frank Aurzada, Steffen Dereich (2013)

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

Similarity:

We consider the one-sided exit problem – also called one-sided barrier problem – for ( $α$ -fractionally) integrated random walks and Lévy processes. Our main result is that there exists a positive, non-increasing function $α \mapsto θ (α)$ such that the probability that any $α$ -fractionally integrated centered Lévy processes (or random walk) with some finite exponential moment stays below a fixed level until time $T$ behaves as $T^{- θ (α) + o (1)}$ for large $T$ . We also investigate when the fixed level can be replaced by a different...

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 $t$ .

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 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 ( $d \geq 5$ ).

Slowdown estimates for ballistic random walk in random environment

Noam Berger (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We consider models of random walk in uniformly elliptic i.i.d. random environment in dimension greater than or equal to 4, satisfying a condition slightly weaker than the ballisticity condition $(T^{'})$ . We show that for every $ϵ > 0$ and $n$ large enough, the annealed probability of linear slowdown is bounded from above by $exp (- {(log n)}^{d - ϵ})$ . This bound almost matches the known lower bound of $exp (- C {(log n)}^{d})$ , and signiﬁcantly improves previously known upper bounds. As a corollary we provide almost sharp estimates for the quenched...

Edge-reinforced random walk, vertex-reinforced jump process and the supersymmetric hyperbolic sigma model

Christophe Sabot, Pierre Tarrès (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Edge-reinforced random walk (ERRW), introduced by Coppersmith and Diaconis in 1986 [8], is a random process which takes values in the vertex set of a graph $G$ and is more likely to cross edges it has visited before. We show that it can be represented in terms of a vertex-reinforced jump process (VRJP) with independent gamma conductances; the VRJP was conceived by Werner and first studied by Davis and Volkov [10, 11], and is a continuous-time process favouring sites with more local time....

α-stable random walk has massive thorns

Alexander Bendikov, Wojciech Cygan (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We introduce and study a class of random walks defined on the integer lattice $ℤ^{d}$ -a discrete space and time counterpart of the symmetric α-stable process in $ℝ^{d}$ . When 0 < α <2 any coordinate axis in $ℤ^{d}$ , d ≥ 3, is a non-massive set whereas any cone is massive. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a thorn to be a massive set.

Random walks in ${(ℤ_{+})}^{2}$ with non-zero drift absorbed at the axes

Irina Kurkova, Kilian Raschel (2011)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

Spatially homogeneous random walks in ${(ℤ_{+})}^{2}$ with non-zero jump probabilities at distance at most $1$ , with non-zero drift in the interior of the quadrant and absorbed when reaching the axes are studied. Absorption probabilities generating functions are obtained and the asymptotic of absorption probabilities along the axes is made explicit. The asymptotic of the Green functions is computed along all different infinite paths of states, in particular along those approaching the axes. ...

Collisions of random walks

Martin T. Barlow, Yuval Peres, Perla Sousi (2012)

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

Similarity:

A recurrent graph $G$ has the infinite collision property if two independent random walks on $G$ , started at the same point, collide infinitely often a.s. We give a simple criterion in terms of Green functions for a graph to have this property, and use it to prove that a critical Galton–Watson tree with finite variance conditioned to survive, the incipient infinite cluster in $ℤ^{d}$ with $d \geq 19$ and the uniform spanning tree in $ℤ^{2}$ all have the infinite collision property. For power-law combs and spherically...

The scaling limits of a heavy tailed Markov renewal process

Julien Sohier (2013)

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

Similarity:

In this paper we consider heavy tailed Markov renewal processes and we prove that, suitably renormalised, they converge in law towards the $α$ -stable regenerative set. We then apply these results to the strip wetting model which is a random walk $S$ constrained above a wall and rewarded or penalized when it hits the strip $[0, \infty) \times [0, a]$ where $a$ is a given positive number. The convergence result that we establish allows to characterize the scaling limit of this process at criticality.

Coherent randomness tests and computing the $K$ -trivial sets

Laurent Bienvenu, Noam Greenberg, Antonín Kučera, André Nies, Dan Turetsky (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We introduce Oberwolfach randomness, a notion within Demuth’s framework of statistical tests with moving components; here the components’ movement has to be coherent across levels. We show that a ML-random set computes all $K$ -trivial sets if and only if it is not Oberwolfach random, and indeed that there is a $K$ -trivial set which is not computable from any Oberwolfach random set. We show that Oberwolfach random sets satisfy effective versions of almost-everywhere theorems of analysis,...

Small positive values for supercritical branching processes in random environment

Vincent Bansaye, Christian Böinghoff (2014)

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

Similarity:

Branching Processes in Random Environment (BPREs) $(Z_{n} : n \geq 0)$ are the generalization of Galton–Watson processes where in each generation the reproduction law is picked randomly in an i.i.d. manner. In the supercritical case, the process survives with positive probability and then almost surely grows geometrically. This paper focuses on rare events when the process takes positive but small values for large times. We describe the asymptotic behavior of $ℙ (1 \leq Z_{n} \leq k | Z_{0} = i)$ , $k, i \in ℕ$ as $n \to \infty$ . More precisely, we characterize...

Weak quenched limiting distributions for transient one-dimensional random walk in a random environment

Jonathon Peterson, Gennady Samorodnitsky (2013)

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

Similarity:

We consider a one-dimensional, transient random walk in a random i.i.d. environment. The asymptotic behaviour of such random walk depends to a large extent on a crucial parameter $κ g t; 0$ that determines the fluctuations of the process. When $0 l t; κ l t; 2$ , the averaged distributions of the hitting times of the random walk converge to a $κ$ -stable distribution. However, it was shown recently that in this case there does not exist a quenched limiting distribution of the hitting times. That is, it is not true...

Invariance principle for the random conductance model with dynamic bounded conductances

Sebastian Andres (2014)

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

Similarity:

We study a continuous time random walk $X$ in an environment of dynamic random conductances in $ℤ^{d}$ . We assume that the conductances are stationary ergodic, uniformly bounded and bounded away from zero and polynomially mixing in space and time. We prove a quenched invariance principle for $X$ , and obtain Green’s functions bounds and a local limit theorem. We also discuss a connection to stochastic interface models.

The spread of a catalytic branching random walk

Philippe Carmona, Yueyun Hu (2014)

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

Similarity:

We consider a catalytic branching random walk on $ℤ$ that branches at the origin only. In the supercritical regime we establish a law of large number for the maximal position $M_{n}$ : For some constant $α$ , $\frac{M_{n}}{n} \to α$ almost surely on the set of infinite number of visits of the origin. Then we determine all possible limiting laws for $M_{n} - α n$ as $n$ goes to infinity.

About the generating function of a left bounded integer-valued random variable

Charles Delorme, Jean-Marc Rinkel (2008)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

We give a relation between the sign of the mean of an integer-valued, left bounded, random variable $X$ and the number of zeros of $1 - Φ (z)$ inside the unit disk, where $Φ$ is the generating function of $X$ , under some mild conditions

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...

Moment and tail estimates for multidimensional chaoses generated by symmetric random variables with logarithmically concave tails

Rafał M. Łochowski (2006)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Two kinds of estimates are presented for tails and moments of random multidimensional chaoses $S = \sum a_{i ₁, . . ., i_{d}} X_{i ₁}^{(1)} \dots X_{i_{d}}^{(d)}$ generated by symmetric random variables $X_{i ₁}^{(1)}, . . ., X_{i_{d}}^{(d)}$ with logarithmically concave tails. The estimates of the first kind are generalizations of bounds obtained by Arcones and Giné for Gaussian chaoses. They are exact up to constants depending only on the order d. Unfortunately, suprema of empirical processes are involved. The second kind estimates are based on comparison between moments of S and moments...

Extremal points of high-dimensional random walks and mixing times of a brownian motion on the sphere

Ronen Eldan (2014)

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

Similarity:

We derive asymptotics for the probability that the origin is an extremal point of a random walk in $ℝ^{n}$ . We show that in order for the probability to be roughly $1 / 2$ , the number of steps of the random walk should be between $e^{n / (C log n)}$ and $e^{C n log n}$ for some constant $C g t; 0$ . As a result, we attain a bound for the $\frac{π}{2}$ -covering time of a spherical Brownian motion.

Approximation of a symmetric α-stable Lévy process by a Lévy process with finite moments of all orders

Z. Michna (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

In this paper we consider a symmetric α-stable Lévy process Z. We use a series representation of Z to condition it on the largest jump. Under this condition, Z can be presented as a sum of two independent processes. One of them is a Lévy process $Y_{x}$ parametrized by x > 0 which has finite moments of all orders. We show that $Y_{x}$ converges to Z uniformly on compact sets with probability one as x↓ 0. The first term in the cumulant expansion of $Y_{x}$ corresponds to a Brownian motion which implies...
