Abstract: We study a model of multi-excited random walk with non-nearest neighbour steps on mathbbZ, in which the walk can jump from a vertex x to either x+1 or xi with iin1,2,dots,L, Lge1. We first point out the multi-type branching structure of this random walk and then prove a limit theorem for a related multi-type Galton-Watson process with emigration, which is of independent interest. Combining this result and the method introduced by Basdevant and Singh [Probab. Theory Related Fields (2008), 141 (3-4)], we extend their result (w.r.t the case L=1) to our model. More specifically, we show that in the regime of transience to the right, the walk has positive speed if and only if the expected total drift delta>2. This confirms a special case of a conjecture proposed by Davis and Peterson.
