Stuck walks

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of a class of self-interacting nearest neighbour random walks on the one-dimensional integer lattice which are pushed by a particular linear combination of their own local time on edges in the neighbourhood of their current position. We prove that in a range of the relevant parameter of the model such random walkers can be eventually confined to a finite interval of length depending on the parameter value. The phenomenon arises as a result of competing self-attracting and self-repelling effects where in the named parameter range the former wins.
