Limiting behavior of random walk in a one-dimensional random environment (Q762836)

In this paper a random walk in \({\mathbb{Z}}^ 1\) of the following type is considered: moving point jumps from the point \(x\in {\mathbb{Z}}^ 1\) into the point \(x+1(x-1)\) with probability p(x) \((q(x)=1-p(x))\), where p(x), \(x\in {\mathbb{Z}}^ 1\), are identically distributed independent random variables. Let x(n) be the position of the moving point after n jumps, \(x(0)=0\). Suppose ln(q(x)/p(x)) lies in the region of normal attraction of some stable law with characteristic index \(\alpha\). Under these assumptions it is shown that the probability distribution of \(x(n)/\ln^{\alpha}n\) becomes localized, when \(n\to \infty\).
