چکیده
We prove that the drift θ(d, β) for excited random walk in dimension d is monotone in the excitement parameter β ∈ [0, 1], when d ≥ 9.

Excited against the tide: A random walk with competing drifts
In this paper we study what might be called an excited random walk with drift (ERWD), where the random walker has a drift β d in the positive direction of the first component each time the walker visits a new site, and a drift μ d in the negative direction of the first component on subsequent visits. Models of this type with drift for a fixed finite number of visits to a site have been studied ...
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 کاملA monotonicity property for random walk in a partially random environment
We prove a law of large numbers for random walks in certain kinds of i.i.d. random environments in Zd that is an extension of a result of Bolthausen, Sznitman and Zeitouni [4]. We use this result, along with the lace expansion for self-interacting random walks, to prove a monotonicity result for the first coordinate of the speed of the random walk under some strong assumptions on the distributi...
متن کاملExcited Random Walk
A random walk on Z is excited if the first time it visits a vertex there is a bias in one direction, but on subsequent visits to that vertex the walker picks a neighbor uniformly at random. We show that excited random walk on Z is transient iff d > 1. 1. Excited Random Walk A random walk on Z is excited (with bias ε/d) if the first time it visits a vertex it steps right with probability (1 + ε)...
متن کاملAn expansion for self-interacting random walks
We derive a perturbation expansion for general interacting random walks, where steps are made on the basis of the history of the path. Examples of models where this expansion applies are reinforced random walk, excited random walk, the true (weakly) self-avoiding walk and loop-erased random walk. We use the expansion to prove a law of large numbers and central limit theorem for two models: (i) ...
