A functional approach for random walks in random sceneries
نویسنده
چکیده
A functional approach for the study of the random walks in random sceneries (RWRS) is proposed. Under fairly general assumptions on the random walk and on the random scenery, functional limit theorems are proved. The method allows to study separately the convergence of the walk and of the scenery: on the one hand, a general criterion for the convergence of the local time of the walk is provided, on the other hand, the convergence of the random measures associated with the scenery is studied. This functional approach is robust enough to recover many of the known results on RWRS as well as new ones, including the case of many walkers evolving in the same scenery.

Further scaling exponents of random walks in random sceneries
Completing previous results, we construct, for every 1/2 6 s 6 1, explicit examples of nearest neighbour random walks on the nonnegative integer line such that s is the scaling exponent of the associated random walk in random scenery for square integrable i.i.d. sceneries. We use coupling techniques to compare the distributions of the local times of such random walks.
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 ...
متن کاملModerate Deviations for Random Walk in Random Scenery
We investigate the cumulative scenery process associated with random walks in independent, identically distributed random sceneries under the assumption that the scenery variables satisfy Cramér’s condition. We prove moderate deviation principles in dimensions d ≥ 2, covering all those regimes where rate and speed do not depend on the actual distribution of the scenery. In the case d ≥ 4 we eve...
متن کاملIndistinguishable Sceneries
In this paper we give a counter example to a conjecture mentioned in Benjamini and Kesten (1996) about distinguishing sceneries by observing them along a simple random walk, giving an explicit construction of 2 @0 sceneries that are all pairwise indistinguishable.
متن کاملWeak Convergence Approach for Parabolic Equations with Large, Highly Oscillatory, Random Potential
This paper concerns the macroscopic behavior of solutions to parabolic equations with large, highly oscillatory, random potential. When the correlation function of the random potential satisfies a specific integrability condition, we show that the random solution converges, as the correlation length of the medium tends to zero, to the deterministic solution of a homogenized equation in dimensio...
