Synopsis Non-homogeneous Random Walks by : Mikhail Menshikov
Stochastic systems provide powerful abstract models for a variety of important real-life applications: for example, power supply, traffic flow, data transmission. They (and the real systems they model) are often subject to phase transitions, behaving in one way when a parameter is below a certain critical value, then switching behaviour as soon as that critical value is reached. In a real system, we do not necessarily have control over all the parameter values, so it is important to know how to find critical points and to understand system behaviour near these points. This book is a modern presentation of the 'semimartingale' or 'Lyapunov function' method applied to near-critical stochastic systems, exemplified by non-homogeneous random walks. Applications treat near-critical stochastic systems and range across modern probability theory from stochastic billiards models to interacting particle systems. Spatially non-homogeneous random walks are explored in depth, as they provide prototypical near-critical systems.

Synopsis Random Walks on Infinite Graphs and Groups by : Wolfgang Woess
The main theme of this book is the interplay between the behaviour of a class of stochastic processes (random walks) and discrete structure theory. The author considers Markov chains whose state space is equipped with the structure of an infinite, locally finite graph, or as a particular case, of a finitely generated group. The transition probabilities are assumed to be adapted to the underlying structure in some way that must be specified precisely in each case. From the probabilistic viewpoint, the question is what impact the particular type of structure has on various aspects of the behaviour of the random walk. Vice-versa, random walks may also be seen as useful tools for classifying, or at least describing the structure of graphs and groups. Links with spectral theory and discrete potential theory are also discussed. This book will be essential reading for all researchers working in stochastic process and related topics.

Synopsis Random Walk in Random and Non-random Environments by : P l Rvsz
The simplest mathematical model of the Brownian motion of physics is the simple, symmetric random walk. This book collects and compares current results OCo mostly strong theorems which describe the properties of a random walk. The modern problems of the limit theorems of probability theory are treated in the simple case of coin tossing. Taking advantage of this simplicity, the reader is familiarized with limit theorems (especially strong ones) without the burden of technical tools and difficulties. An easy way of considering the Wiener process is also given, through the study of the random walk.Since the first and second editions were published in 1990 and 2005, a number of new results have appeared in the literature. The first two editions contained many unsolved problems and conjectures which have since been settled; this third, revised and enlarged edition includes those new results. In this edition, a completely new part is included concerning Simple Random Walks on Graphs. Properties of random walks on several concrete graphs have been studied in the last decade. Some of the obtained results are also presented.

Synopsis Intersections of Random Walks by : Gregory F. Lawler
A more accurate title for this book would be "Problems dealing with the non-intersection of paths of random walks. " These include: harmonic measure, which can be considered as a problem of nonintersection of a random walk with a fixed set; the probability that the paths of independent random walks do not intersect; and self-avoiding walks, i. e. , random walks which have no self-intersections. The prerequisite is a standard measure theoretic course in probability including martingales and Brownian motion. The first chapter develops the facts about simple random walk that will be needed. The discussion is self-contained although some previous expo sure to random walks would be helpful. Many of the results are standard, and I have made borrowed from a number of sources, especially the ex cellent book of Spitzer [65]. For the sake of simplicity I have restricted the discussion to simple random walk. Of course, many of the results hold equally well for more general walks. For example, the local central limit theorem can be proved for any random walk whose increments have mean zero and finite variance. Some of the later results, especially in Section 1. 7, have not been proved for very general classes of walks. The proofs here rely heavily on the fact that the increments of simple random walk are bounded and symmetric.

Synopsis Non-Homogeneous Markov Chains and Systems by : P.-C.G. Vassiliou
Non-Homogeneous Markov Chains and Systems: Theory and Applications fulfills two principal goals. It is devoted to the study of non-homogeneous Markov chains in the first part, and to the evolution of the theory and applications of non-homogeneous Markov systems (populations) in the second. The book is self-contained, requiring a moderate background in basic probability theory and linear algebra, common to most undergraduate programs in mathematics, statistics, and applied probability. There are some advanced parts, which need measure theory and other advanced mathematics, but the readers are alerted to these so they may focus on the basic results. Features A broad and accessible overview of non-homogeneous Markov chains and systems Fills a significant gap in the current literature A good balance of theory and applications, with advanced mathematical details separated from the main results Many illustrative examples of potential applications from a variety of fields Suitable for use as a course text for postgraduate students of applied probability, or for self-study Potential applications included could lead to other quantitative areas The book is primarily aimed at postgraduate students, researchers, and practitioners in applied probability and statistics, and the presentation has been planned and structured in a way to provide flexibility in topic selection so that the text can be adapted to meet the demands of different course outlines. The text could be used to teach a course to students studying applied probability at a postgraduate level or for self-study. It includes many illustrative examples of potential applications, in order to be useful to researchers from a variety of fields.
