Biased random walks

How much can an imperfect source of randomness a ect an algorithm? We examine several simple questions of this type concerning the long-term behavior of a random walk on a nite graph. ...
In our setup, at each step of the random walk a \controller" can, with a certain small probability, x the next step, thus introducing a bias. ...
We use the relationship between biased random walk strategies and Markov decision theory 9] in order to show that there is a time-independent optimal strategy. ...

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical
We develop rigorous, analytic techniques to study the behaviour of biased random walks on combs. ...
Two specific examples of random comb ensembles are discussed; the random comb with nonzero probability of an infinitely long tooth at each vertex on the spine and the random comb with a power law distribution ...
Biased random walks We regard time as integer valued and consider a walker who makes one step on the graph for each unit time interval. ...

[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
We study the behaviour of a sequence of biased random walks X(i), i>=0 on a sequence of random graphs, where the initial graph is Zd and otherwise the graph for the i-th walk is the trace of the (i - 1 ...
)-st walk. ...
Finally, we note that, in another related work, biased random walk on an unbiased random walk has been shown to exhibit localisation on a logarithmic scale [8] . ...

We study the biased random walk where at each step of a random walk a "controller" can, with a certain small probability, move the walk to an arbitrary neighbour. ...
[STOC'1992]; we extend their work to the time dependent setting and consider cover times of this walk. We obtain new bounds on the cover and hitting times. ...

Absorbing-state phase transition in biased activated random walk
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
We consider the activated random walk (ARW) model on Z^d, which undergoes a transition from an absorbing regime to a regime of sustained activity. ...
This answers a question from Rolla and Sidoravicius (2012) and Dickman, Rolla and Sidoravicius (2010) in the case of biased jump distribution. ...
As the random walk is biased to the right, we can uniformly bound from below by a constant F L the probability of a successful jump. ...

pre-print
We study a biased random walk on the interlacement set of Z^d for d≥ 3. ...
Although the walk is always transient, we can show, in the case d=3, that for any value of the bias the walk has a zero limiting speed and actually moves slower than any power. ...

Physical Review E
The critical value of the reaction rate able to sustain the propagation of an invasive front is obtained for general non-Markovian biased random walks with reactions. ...
Arguably, the simplest random walk is Brownian motion. The random walk is biased if jumps in one particular direction are more likely and a drift in that direction will be observed ͓2͔. ...
