On the Annealed Large Deviation Rate Function for a Multi-Dimensional Random Walk in Random Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We derive properties of the rate function in Varadhan’s (annealed) large deviation principle for multi-dimensional, ballistic random walk in random environment, in a certain neighborhood of the zero set of the rate function. Our approach relates the LDP to that of regeneration times and distances. The analysis of the latter is possible due to the i.i.d. structure of regenerations.

Quenched, Annealed and Functional Large Deviations for One-Dimensional Random Walk in Random Environment
Suppose that the integers are assigned random variables f! i g (taking values in the unit interval), which serve as an environment. This environment deenes a random walk fX n g (called a RWRE) which, when at i, moves one step to the right with probability ! i , and one step to the left with probability 1 ? ! i. When the f! i g sequence is i.i.d., Greven and den Hollander (1994) proved a large d...
متن کاملA PRELUDE TO THE THEORY OF RANDOM WALKS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS
A random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. When the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (RWRE). The basic questions such as the law of large numbers (LLN), the central limit theorem (CLT), and the large deviation principle (LDP) are ...

Suppose that the integers are assigned i.i.d. random variables f! x g (taking values in the unit interval), which serve as an environment. This environment deenes a random walk fX n g (called a RWRE) which, when at x, moves one step to the right with probability ! x , and one step to the left with probability 1?! x. Solomon (1975) determined the almost-sure asymptotic speed v (=rate of escape) ...
متن کاملLarge deviations and slowdown asymptotics for one - dimensional excited random walks ∗
We study the large deviations of excited random walks on Z. We prove a large deviation principle for both the hitting times and the position of the random walk and give a qualitative description of the respective rate functions. When the excited random walk is transient with positive speed v0, then the large deviation rate function for the position of the excited random walk is zero on the inte...
متن کاملOn the Equality of the Quenched and Averaged Large Deviation Rate Functions for High-dimensional Ballistic Random Walk in a Random Environment
We consider large deviations for nearest-neighbor random walk in a uniformly elliptic i.i.d. environment. It is easy to see that the quenched and averaged rate functions are not identically equal. When the dimension is at least four and Sznitman’s transience condition (T) is satisfied, we prove that these rate functions are finite and equal on a closed set whose interior contains every nonzero ...
