The use of Mineka coupling is extended to a case with a continuous state space: an efficient coupling of random walks S and S' in can be made such that S' — S is virtually a one-dimensional simple random walk. This insight settles a zero-two law of ergodicity. One more proof of Blackwell's renewal theorem is also presented.

We consider a stochastic model of investment on an asset in a stock market for a prudent investor. she decides to buy permanent goods with a fraction α of the maximum amount of money owned in her life in order that her economic level never decreases. The optimal strategy is obtained by maximizing the exponential growth rate for a fixed α. We derive analytical expressions for the typical exponential growth rate of the capital and its fluctuations by solving an one-dimensional random walk with drift.

Pólya showed in his 1921 paper that the generating function of the return probability for a two-dimensional random walk can be written in terms of an elliptic integral. In this paper we present a similar expression for a one-dimensional quantum walk.

We investigate the quantum versions of a one-dimensional random walk, whose corresponding Markov Chain is of order 2. This corresponds to the walk having a memory of one previous step. We derive the amplitudes and probabilities for these walks, and point out how they differ from both classical random walks, and quantum walks without memory.

In this chapter we investigate the question of central limit behavior and its functional form for the partial sums associated with a centered L2-stationary sequence of real-valued random variables (usually called the random scenery) sampled by a recurrent one-dimensional strongly aperiodic random walk. This question is handled under various conditions dependent on the random scenery. In particular, we assume that the random scenery either satisfies an asymptotic negative dependence condition, or is a function of a determinantal process and a Gaussian sequence, or satisfies a mild projective criterion. We first show that study of central limit behavior for such random walks in random scenery can be handled with results related to linear statistics developed in Chapter 12, provided the random walk has good properties. We then look extensively at the properties of a recurrent one-dimensional strongly aperiodic random walk. The functional form of the central limit theorem is also investigated.

Abstract We study transport in dynamical systems characterized by intermittent chaotic behavior with coexistence of dispersive motion due to periods of localization, and of enhanced diffusion due to periods of laminar motion. This transport is discussed within the continuous-time random walk approach which applies to both dispersive and enhanced motions. We analyze the coexistence for the standard map and for a one-dimensional map.

For correlated random walks a method of transition probability matrices as an alternative to the much-used methods of probability generating functions and difference equations has been investigated in this paper. To illustrate the use of transition probability matrices for computing the various probabilities for correlated random walks, the transition probability matrices for restricted/unrestricted one-dimensional correlated random walk have been defined and used to obtain some of the probabilities.
