Random Walks and Trees

Zhan Shi (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

Similarity:

These notes provide an elementary and self-contained introduction to branching random walks. Section 1 gives a brief overview of Galton–Watson trees, whereas Section 2 presents the classical law of large numbers for branching random walks. These two short sections are not exactly indispensable, but they introduce the idea of using size-biased trees, thus giving motivations and an avant-goût to the main part, Section 3, where branching...

Scaling of a random walk on a supercritical contact process

F. den Hollander, R. S. dos Santos (2014)

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

Similarity:

We prove a strong law of large numbers for a one-dimensional random walk in a dynamic random environment given by a supercritical contact process in equilibrium. The proof uses a coupling argument based on the observation that the random walk eventually gets trapped inside the union of space–time cones contained in the infection clusters generated by single infections. In the case where the local drifts of the random walk are smaller than the speed at which infection clusters grow, the...

Conditional limit theorems for intermediately subcritical branching processes in random environment

V. I. Afanasyev, Ch. Böinghoff, G. Kersting, V. A. Vatutin (2014)

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

Similarity:

For a branching process in random environment it is assumed that the offspring distribution of the individuals varies in a random fashion, independently from one generation to the other. For the subcritical regime a kind of phase transition appears. In this paper we study the intermediately subcritical case, which constitutes the borderline within this phase transition. We study the asymptotic behavior of the survival probability. Next the size of the population and the shape of the...

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.
