On a random walk with memory and its relation with Markovian processes

Abstract: We study a one-dimensional random walk with memory in which the step lengths to the left and to the right evolve at each step in order to reduce the wandering of the walker. The feedback is quite efficient and lead to a non-diffusive walk. The time evolution of the displacement is given by an equivalent Markovian dynamical process. The probability density for the position of the walker is the same at any time as for a random walk with shrinking steps, although the two-time correlation functions are quite diffe… Show more

“…In the appendix (see appendix D), we discuss how one can rewrite the chaos game equation in terms of a random walk with variable size steps. Our work directly links to the work of Krapisvsky and Turban [32,33] in which results on the density distribution are presented in this context. Interestingly, this distribution is known as Bernoulli convolutions [34].…”

“…In the statistical physics community, random walks with variable size steps have been considered in [30,31]. To make the link between the chaos game and those studies more explicit, we start from the chaos game equation (1) (using x 0 = 0) and define σ j = 2c n−j−1 − 1 as spin variables (taking values in {−1, 1}).…”

“…To close, it is worth mentioning that the potentially spectacular effects of longranged memory on random walks have been scrutinized in a long series of recent works [26,27,28,29,30,31,32].…”

“…One of the most common types of a discrete random process is a random walk, first introduced by Pearson in 1905, see [7]. There exist many variations of a random walk with various applications to real-life problems [9], [10]. Yet there are still new possibilities and options regarding how to alter and improve the classical random walk and present yet another model representing different real-life events.…”

“…Yet there are still new possibilities and options regarding how to alter and improve the classical random walk and present yet another model representing different real-life events. One such modification is the random walk with varying step size introduced in 2010 by Turban [10] which, together with the idea of self-exciting point processes [3] and the perspective of model applications in reliability analysis and also in sports statistics, served as an inspiration for the random walk with varying transition probabilities…”
