Journal ArticleDOI

A Zero-One Law for Planar Random walks in Random Environment

TL;DR: In this article, the authors solve the problem posed by SA Kalikow whether the event that the $x$-coordinate of a random walk in a two-dimensional random environment approaches $infty$ has necessarily probability either zero or one.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recurrence of edge-reinforced random walk on a two-dimensional graph

TL;DR: In this article, a linearly edge-reinforced random walk on a class of two-dimensional graphs with constant initial weights is studied and it is shown that it is recurrent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Edge-reinforced random walk on a ladder

TL;DR: In this article, the edge-reinforced random walk on a ladder with initial weights a > 3/4 is shown to be recurrent, using a known representation of the edge reinforced random walk as a random walk in a random environment.
Book ChapterDOI

Linearly edge-reinforced random walks

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review results on linearly edge-reinforced random walks on finite graphs and trees, and show that the random walk on trees has the same distribution as a mixture of reversible Markov chains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Moderate Deviations for Longest Increasing Subsequences: The Lower Tail

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a moderate deviation principle for the lower tail probabilities of the length of a longest increasing subsequence in a random permutation, which refers to the regime between the lower-tail large deviation regime and the central limit regime.
