| Title of Talk | Random walks in a sparse ``cookie" environment |
| Abstract | ``Cookie random walks" is a popular model of self-interacting random walks. Several variations of this model have been studied during the last decade. In this talk we will focus on the random walk on the integer lattice, where the ``cookies" perturbing the random walk are placed in a regular random sub-lattice of Z. We will present the model, briefly discuss an associated branching process, and then state criteria for transience and recurrence for this random walk. |
