Deterministic walks in random environments (DWRE) occupy an intermediate position between purely random (generated by random trials) and purely deterministic (generated by deterministic dynamical systems, e.g., by maps) models of diffusion. These models combine deterministic and probabilistic featur

β¦ Synopsis
The asymptotic behavior of a diffusive particle under the influence of an environment and of a dynamical feedback coupling is considered in the framework of a two-dimensional numerical simulation. The feedback is controlled by a Ε½ . memory term of strength l. A sufficient negative memory term l -0 offers a superdiffusive behavior with logarithmic Ε½ . corrections to conventional diffusion, whereas a positive feedback coupling l ) 0 is related to a weak subdiffusion or leads to localization of the particle. The numerical simulations are in agreement with results of a renormalization group approach and of the mode-coupling theory.

Limit theorems for stopped two-dimensional random walks are generalized to perturbed random walks and perturbed Lrvy processes. We conclude with an application to repeated significance tests in two-parameter exponential families and an example. @ 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
We study the survival probability of a particle that performs a random walk in a medium with traps where the trapping strength V is distributed randomly. We use an approach which is asymptotically exact and brings Wn(s), the number of distinct sites s visited after n steps, into play. Particularly i
