A Restricted Random Walk defined via a Fibonacci Process
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article we study a random walk on a particularly simple graph. This walk is determined by a probabilistic process associated with the Fibonacci sequence. Exact formulas are derived for the expected proportions of time spent on each arc of the graph for a walk of length n, giving rise to sequences that do not appear in Sloane’s On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. We also obtain asymptotic relations for these expected proportions.

The random Fibonacci recurrence and the visible points of the plane
Abstract In this letter, we show a connection between the random Fibonacci recurrence and the visible points of the plane. In particular, we show that by suitably modifying the rules of the random Fibonacci map, there is a unique correspondence between the visible points (points with relative prime coordinates) of the first quadrant and the vertices of a self-similar graph (what we call the Fib...
متن کاملA Random Walk with Exponential Travel Times
Consider the random walk among N places with N(N - 1)/2 transports. We attach an exponential random variable Xij to each transport between places Pi and Pj and take these random variables mutually independent. If transports are possible or impossible independently with probability p and 1-p, respectively, then we give a lower bound for the distribution function of the smallest path at point log...
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 کاملCentral Limit Theorem in Multitype Branching Random Walk
A discrete time multitype (p-type) branching random walk on the real line R is considered. The positions of the j-type individuals in the n-th generation form a point process. The asymptotic behavior of these point processes, when the generation size tends to infinity, is studied. The central limit theorem is proved.
متن کاملA survey on random walk-based stochastic modeling in eukaryotic cell migration with emphasis on its application in cancer
Impairments in cell migration processes may cause various diseases, among which cancer cell metastasis, tumor angiogenesis, and the disability of immune cells to infiltrate into tumors are prominent ones. Mathematical modeling has been widely used to analyze the cell migration process. Cell migration is a complicated process and requires statistical methods such as random walk for proper analys...
