Abstract: In this paper we introduce the notion of Random Walk in Changing Environment - a random walk in which each step is performed in a different graph on the same set of vertices, or more generally, a weighted random walk on the same vertex and edge sets but with different (possibly 0) weights in each step. This is a very wide class of RW, which includes some well known types of RW as special cases (e.g. reinforced RW, true SAW). We define and explore various possible properties of such walks, and provide criteria for recurrence and transience when the underlying graph is mathbbN or a tree. We provide an example of such a process on mathbbZ2 where conductances can only change from 1 to 2 (once for each edge) but nevertheless the walk is transient, and conjecture that such behaviour cannot happen when the weights are chosen in advance, that is, do not depend on the location of the RW.
