We consider a simple model of discrete-time random walk on Z ν , ν = 1, 2, . . . in a random environment independent in space and with Markov evolution in time. We focus on the application of methods based on the properties of the transfer matrix and on spectral analysis. In section 2 we give a new simple proof of the existence of invariant subspaces, with an explicit condition on the parameters. The remaining part is devoted to a review of the results obtained so far for the quenched random walk and the environment from the point of view of the random walk, with a brief discussion of the methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
