Logarithmic speeds for one-dimensional perturbed random walk in random environment

چکیده
We study the random walk in random environment on Z+ = {0, 1, 2, . . .}, where the environment is subject to a vanishing (random) perturbation. The two particular cases that we consider are: (i) random walk in random environment perturbed from Sinai’s regime; (ii) simple random walk with random perturbation. We give almost sure results on how far the random walker is from the origin, for almost every environment. We give both upper and lower almost sure bounds. These bounds are of order (log t)β, for β ∈ (1,∞), depending on the perturbation. In addition, in the ergodic cases, we give results on the rate of decay of the stationary distribution.

A 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 ...
متن کاملHomogenization of Random Walk in Asymmetric Random Environment
In this paper, the author investigates the scaling limit of a partial difference equation on the d dimensional integer lattice Zd, corresponding to a translation invariant random walk perturbed by a random vector field. In the case when the translation invariant walk scales to a Cauchy process he proves convergence to an effective equation on Rd. The effective equation corresponds to a Cauchy p...
متن کاملPerturbation theory for random walk in asymmetric random environment
In this paper the author continues his investigation into the scaling limit of a partial difference equation on the d-dimensional integer lattice Zd, corresponding to a translation invariant random walk perturbed by a random vector field. In a previous paper he obtained a formula for the effective diffusion constant. It is shown here that for the nearest neighbor walk in dimension d ≥ 3 this ef...
متن کاملExcited Random Walk in Three Dimensions Has Positive Speed
Excited random walk is a model of a random walk on Z which, whenever it encounters a new vertex it receives a push toward a specific direction, call it the “right”, while when it reaches a vertex it “already knows”, it performs a simple random walk. This model has been suggested in [BW] and had since got lots of attention, see [V, Z]. The reason for the interest is that it is situated very natu...
متن کاملRandom walks in a random environment on a strip: a renormalization group approach
We present a real space renormalization group scheme for the problem of random walks in a random environment on a strip, which includes the one-dimensional random walk in random environment with bounded non-nearest-neighbour jumps. We show that the model renormalizes to an effective one-dimensional random walk with nearest-neighbour jumps and conclude that Sinai scaling is valid in the recurren...
