Limit theorems for random walks under irregular conductance

Limit Theorems for Random Walks with Boundaries

In this review, we consider boundary problems for random walks generated by sums of independent items and some of their generalizations. Let 1, 42, . . * be identically distributed independent random variables with distribution frunction F(x). Let S = 0, Sn = Sk= Ok with n = 1, 2, * -. We shall study the properties of the random trajectory formed by the sums S0, S1, 82, . Let n be an integer pa...

Conditional limit theorems for ordered random walks

In a recent paper of Eichelsbacher and König (2008) the model of ordered random walks has been considered. There it has been shown that, under certain moment conditions, one can construct a k-dimensional random walk conditioned to stay in a strict order at all times. Moreover, they have shown that the rescaled random walk converges to the Dyson Brownian motion. In the present paper we find the ...

Quenched Central Limit Theorems for Random Walks in Random Scenery

When the support of X1 is a subset of N , (Sn)n≥0 is called a renewal process. Each time the random walk is said to evolve in Z, it implies that the walk is truly d-dimensional, i.e. the linear space generated by the elements in the support of X1 is d-dimensional.

Excursions and local limit theorems for Bessel - like random walks ∗

We consider reflecting random walks on the nonnegative integers with drift of order 1/x at height x . We establish explicit asymptotics for various probabilities associated to such walks, including the distribution of the hitting time of 0 and first return time to 0, and the probability of being at a given height k at time n (uniformly in a large range of k.) In particular, for drift of form −δ...
