Abstract: We develop a technique that provides a lower bound on the speed of transient random walk in a random environment on regular trees. A refinement of this technique yields upper bounds on the first regeneration level and regeneration time. In particular, a lower and upper bound on the covariance in the annealed invariance principle follows. We emphasize the fact that our methods are general and also apply in the case of once-reinforced random walk. Durrett, Kesten and Limic (2002) prove an upper bound of the form b/(b+delta) for the speed on the b-ary tree, where delta is the reinforcement parameter. For delta>1 we provide a lower bound of the form gamma2b/(b+delta), where gamma is the survival probability of an associated branching process.
