Large Deviations and Phase Transition for Random Walks in Random Nonnegative Potentials
نویسنده
چکیده
We establish large deviation principles and phase transition results for both quenched and annealed settings of nearest-neighbor random walks with constant drift in random nonnegative potentials on Zd. We complement the analysis of Zerner (1996), where a shape theorem on the Lyapunov functions and a large deviation principle in absence of the drift are achieved for the quenched setting.

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 کاملLarge Deviations for Random Walks in a Mixing Random Environment and Other (Non-Markov) Random Walks
We extend a recent work by S. R. S. Varadhan [8] on large deviations for random walks in a product random environment to include more general random walks on the lattice. In particular, some reinforced random walks and several classes of random walks in Gibbs fields are included. c © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
متن کاملA Note on the Ballistic Limit of Random Motion in a Random Potential
It has been shown that certain types of random walks in random potentials and Brownian motion in Poissonian potentials undergo a phase transition from sub-ballistic to ballistic behavior when the strength of the underlying drift is increased. The ballistic behavior has been manifested by indicating a limiting area for the normalized motion. In the present article, we provide a refined descripti...
متن کاملLocalization transition of biased random walks on random networks.
We study random walks on large random graphs that are biased towards a randomly chosen but fixed target node. We show that a critical bias strength bc exists such that most walks find the target within a finite time when b > bc. For b < bc, a finite fraction of walks drift off to infinity before hitting the target. The phase transition at b=bc is a critical point in the sense that quantities su...
متن کاملQuenched Free Energy and Large Deviations for Random Walks in Random Potentials
We study quenched distributions on random walks in a random potential on integer lattices of arbitrary dimension and with an arbitrary finite set of admissible steps. The potential can be unbounded and can depend on a few steps of the walk. Directed, undirected and stretched polymers, as well as random walk in random environment, are covered. The restriction needed is on the moment of the poten...
