Diffusion about the mean drift location in a biased random walk.
Random walks are used to model movement in a wide variety of contexts: from the movement of cells undergoing chemotaxis to the migration of animals. In a two-dimensional biased random walk, the diffusion about the mean drift position is entirely dependent on the moments of the angular distribution used to determine the movement direction at each step. Here we consider biased random walks using ...
متن کاملBiased random walk in energetically disordered lattices
We utilize our previously reported model of energetically disordered lattices to study diffusion properties, where we now add the effect of a directional bias in the motion. We show how this leads to ballistic motion at low temperatures, but crosses over to normal diffusion with increasing temperature. This effect is in addition to the previously observed subdiffusional motion at early times, w...
متن کاملComparison of mean hitting times for a degree-biased random walk
Consider the random walk on graphs such that, at each step, the next visited vertex is a neighbor of the current vertex, chosen with probability proportional to the inverse of the square root of its degree. On one hand, for every graph with n vertices, the maximal mean hitting time for this degree-biased random walk is asymptotically dominated by n. On the other hand, the maximal mean hitting t...
متن کاملThe overshoot of a random walk with negative drift
Let fSn; nX0g be a random walk starting from 0 and drifting to 1, and let tðxÞ be the first time when the random walk crosses a given level xX0. Some asymptotics for the tail probability of the overshoot StðxÞ x, associated with the event ðtðxÞo1Þ, are derived for the cases of heavy-tailed and light-tailed increments. In particular, the formulae obtained fulfill certain uniform requirements. r ...
متن کاملA new set of Monte Carlo moves for lattice random-walk models of biased diffusion
We recently demonstrated that standard fixed-time lattice random-walk models cannot be modified to properly represent biased diffusion processes in more than two dimensions. The origin of this fundamental limitation appears to be the fact that traditional Monte Carlo moves do not allow for simultaneous jumps along each spatial direction. We thus propose a new algorithm to transform biased diffu...
