Abstract: In a step reinforced random walk, at each integer time and with a fixed probability p $in$ (0, 1), the walker repeats one of his previous steps chosen uniformly at random, and with complementary probability 1 -- p, the walker makes an independent new step with a given distribution. Examples in the literature include the so-called elephant random walk and the shark random swim. We consider here a continuous time analog, when the random walk is replaced by a L{'e}vy process. For sub-critical (or admissible) memory parameters p < p c , where p c is related to the Blumenthal-Getoor index of the L{'e}vy process, we construct a noise reinforced L{'e}vy process. Our main result shows that the step-reinforced random walks corresponding to discrete time skeletons of the L{'e}vy process, converge weakly to the noise reinforced L{'e}vy process as the time-mesh goes to 0.
