β¦ Synopsis
We use a technique based on Toeplitz matrices to calculate the probability distribution for certain random walks on a lattice in continuous time where the walker can take steps of various sizes in each direction and where the probability of a step depends on the nature of a finite set of previous steps. If k(ij) is the rate constant for a step ofj units given a history of type i, then we can solve the random walk problem for the special case when the sum over k(ij) is independent ofj.

## Abstract We present simple proofs of sharp uniform boundedness results for sequences of Toeplitz matrices with variable coefficients. These proofs are based on Strichartz's method which reduces the problem of boundedness of operators βwith variable coefficientsβ to the same problem for operators
The relationship of orthogonal functions associated with vertex transitive graphs and random walks on such graphs is investigated. We use this relationship to characterize the exponentially decaying autocorrelation functions along random walks on isotropic random fields defined on vertex transitive
