Abstract: We introduce the concept of a deterministic walk in a deterministic environment on a countable state space (DWDE). For the deterministic walk in a fixed environment we establish properties analogous to those found in Markov chain theory, but for systems that do not in general have the Markov property. In particular, we establish hypotheses ensuring that a DWDE on is either recurrent or transient. An immediate consequence of this result is that a symmetric DWDE on is recurrent. Moreover, in the transient case, we show that the probability that the DWDE diverges to +infty is either 0 or 1. In certain cases we compute the direction of divergence in the transient case.
