Finite time and asymptotic behaviour of the maximal excursion of a random walk | | Roger Bidaux

20 May 1999 | | Subject: | Statistical Mechanics | cond-mat.stat-mech | | Abstract: | We evaluate the limit distribution of the maximal excursion of a random walk in any dimension for homogeneous environments and for self-similar supports under the assumption of spherical symmetry. This distribution is obtained in closed form and is an approximation of the exact distribution comparable to that obtained by real space renormalization methods. Then we focus on the early time behaviour of this quantity. The instantaneous diffusion exponent $
u_n$ exhibits a systematic overshooting of the long time exponent. Exact results are obtained in one dimension up to third order in $n^{-1/2}$. In two dimensions, on a regular lattice and on the Sierpi’nski gasket we find numerically that the analytic scaling $
u_n simeq
u+A n^{-
u}$ holds. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/9905300 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
