Five eight-step random walks from a central point. Some paths appear shorter than eight steps where the route has doubled back on itself. (animated version)In mathematics, a random walk, sometimes known as a drunkard's walk, is a stochastic process that describes a path that consists of a succession of random steps on some mathematical space.
Lévy flights are, by construction, Markov processes.For general distributions of the step-size, satisfying the power-like condition, the distance from the origin of the random walk tends, after a large number of steps, to a stable distribution due to the generalized central limit theorem, enabling many processes to be modeled using Lévy flights.
For example after n steps the random walker could be at coordinate (0,0,n) with probability = thus there exists with equal probability that the random walker would take the shortest path to the origin from the farthest possible distance.
It is the most common measure of the spatial extent of random motion, and can be thought of as measuring the portion of the system "explored" by the random walker. In the realm of biophysics and environmental engineering , the Mean Squared Displacement is measured over time to determine if a particle is spreading slowly due to diffusion , or if ...
The third arcsine law states that the time at which a Wiener process achieves its maximum is arcsine distributed. The statement of the law relies on the fact that the Wiener process has an almost surely unique maxima, [1] and so we can define the random variable M which is the time at which the maxima is achieved. i.e. the unique M such that
A loop-erased random walk in 2D for steps. In mathematics, loop-erased random walk is a model for a random simple path with important applications in combinatorics, physics and quantum field theory. It is intimately connected to the uniform spanning tree, a model for a random tree.
