At each step we choose one of the measures based on the history of the process and take a step according to that measure. We give conditions for transience of such processes and also construct examples of recurrent processes of this type. In particular, in dimension 3 we give the complete picture: every walk generated by two measures is transient and there exists a recurrent walk generated by three measures.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-03-15T19:55:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "self-interacting random walks", "dimensional probability measures", "construct examples", "recurrent processes", "complete picture" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1203.3459P" } } }
