چکیده
We study a one-dimensional random walk whose expected drift depends both on time and the position of a particle. We establish a non-trivial phase transition for the recurrence vs. transience of the walk, and show some interesting applications to Friedman’s urn, as well as showing the connection with Lamperti’s walk with asymptotically zero drift .

Urn-related Random Walk with Drift Ρ X
We study a one-dimensional random walk whose expected drift depends both on time and the position of a particle. We establish a non-trivial phase transition for the recurrence vs. transience of the walk, and show some interesting applications to Friedman’s urn, as well as showing the connection with Lamperti’s walk with asymptotically zero drift.
متن کاملFrom persistent random walks to the telegraph noise
We study a family of memory-based persistent random walks and we prove weak convergences after space-time rescaling. The limit processes are not only Brownian motions with drift. We have obtained a continuous but non-Markov process (Zt) which can be easely expressed in terms of a counting process (Nt). In a particular case the counting process is a Poisson process, and (Zt) permits to represent...
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric Analysis of Reversible Markov Chains
We introduce a three-parameter random walk with reinforcement, called the (θ,α,β) scheme, which generalizes the linearly edge reinforced random walk to uncountable spaces. The parameter β smoothly tunes the (θ,α,β) scheme between this edge reinforced random walk and the classical exchangeable two-parameter Hoppe urn scheme, while the parameters α and θ modulate how many states are typically vis...
متن کاملRandom walks with strongly inhomogeneous rates and singular diffusions: convergence, localization and aging in one dimension
Let τ = (τi : i ∈ Z) denote i.i.d. positive random variables with common distribution F and (conditional on τ) let X = (Xt : t ≥ 0, X0 = 0), be a continuous-time simple symmetric random walk on Z with inhomogeneous rates (τ i : i ∈ Z). When F is in the domain of attraction of a stable law of exponent α < 1 (so that E(τi) = ∞ and X is subdiffusive), we prove that (X, τ), suitably rescaled (in sp...
متن کاملOn the survival of a class of subcritical branching processes in random environment
Let Zn be the number of individuals in a subcritical BPRE evolving in the environment generated by iid probability distributions. Let X be the logarithm of the expected offspring size per individual given the environment. Assuming that the density of X has the form pX(x) = x −β−1 l0(x)e −ρx for some β > 2, a slowly varying function l0(x) and ρ ∈ (0, 1) , we find the asymptotic survival probabil...
