Path probabilities of continuous time random walks

چکیده
Employing the path integral formulation of a broad class of anomalous diffusion processes, we derive the exact relations for the path probability densities of these processes. In particular, we obtain a closed analytical solution for the path probability distribution of a Continuous Time Random Walk (CTRW) process. This solution is given in terms of its waiting time distribution and short time propagator of the corresponding random walk as a solution of a Dyson equation. Applying our analytical solution we derive generalized Feynman–Kac formulae.

Discrete-time random walks on diagrams (graphs) with cycles.
After a review of the diagram method for continuous-time random walks on graphs with cycles, the method is extended to discrete-time random walks. The basic theorems carry over formally from continuous time to discrete time. Three problems in tennis probabilities are used to illustrate random walks on discrete-time diagrams with cycles.
متن کاملMarkov Random Walk Representations with Continuous Distributions
Representations based on random walks can exploit discrete data distributions for cluster ing and classification. We extend such rep resentations from discrete to continuous dis tributions. Transition probabilities are now calculated using a diffusion equation with a diffusion coefficient that inversely depends on the data density. We relate this diffu sion equation to a path integral and d...
متن کاملSimulating Diffusion with Quantum Walks on Graphs
The path integral method has been an effective approach to solve the Fokker-Planck equation that simulates the evolution of probability distributions in diffusion processes. Yet the major challenges include the memory requirement to store the transition matrix in a fine-grained state space and a small time step required for the accurate estimation of short-time transition probabilities. Previou...
متن کاملReciprocal classes of random walks on graphs
The reciprocal class of a Markov path measure is the set of all mixtures of its bridges. We give characterizations of the reciprocal class of a continuous-time Markov random walk on a graph. Our main result is in terms of some reciprocal characteristics whose expression only depends on the jump intensity. We also characterize the reciprocal class by means of Taylor expansions in small time of s...
متن کاملOn symmetric random walks with random conductances on Z
We study models of continuous time, symmetric, Zd-valued random walks in random environments. One of our aims is to derive estimates on the decay of transition probabilities in a case where a uniform ellipticity assumption is absent. We consider the case of independent conductances with a polynomial tail near 0 and obtain precise asymptotics for the annealed return probability and convergence t...
