In this paper we consider first-passage percolation on certain one-dimensional periodic graphs, such as thenearest neighbour graph ford,K≥ 1. We expose a regenerative structure within the first-passage process, and use this structure to show that both length and weight of minimal-weight paths present a typical one-dimensional asymptotic behaviour. Apart from a strong law of large numbers, we derive a central limit theorem, a law of the iterated logarithm, and a Donsker theorem for these quantities. In addition, we prove that the mean and variance of the length and weight of minimizing paths are monotone in the distance between their end-points, and further show how the regenerative idea can be used to couple two first-passage processes to eventually coincide. Using this coupling we derive a 0–1 law.

In this paper we consider first-passage percolation on certain one-dimensional periodic graphs, such as the nearest neighbour graph for d, K ≥ 1.

AbstractWe prove the law of large numbers for the drift of random walks on the two-dimensional lamplighter group, under the assumption that the random walk has finite $$(2+\epsilon )$$ ( 2 + ϵ ) -moment. This result is in contrast with classical examples of abelian groups, where the displacement after n steps, normalised by its mean, does not concentrate, and the limiting distribution of the normalised n-step displacement admits a density whose support is $$[0,\infty )$$ [ 0 , ∞ ) . We study further examples of groups, some with random walks satisfying LLN for drift and other examples where such concentration phenomenon does not hold, and study relation of this property with asymptotic geometry of groups.
