More recently still, finer local limit theorems -- yielding a Gaussian density multiplied by a highly oscillatory modulating factor -- for such models have been obtained. In the one-dimensional nearest-neighbor case with i.i.d. transition probabilities, local limits of uniformly elliptic ballistic walks are now well understood. We complete the picture by proving a similar result for the only recurrent case, namely the balanced one, in which such a walk is diffusive. The method of proof is, out of necessity, entirely different from the ballistic case.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-03-06T14:04:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K37", "60F15", "82C41", "82D30", "35K15" ], "keywords": [ "random walks", "balanced environments", "finer local limit theorems", "central limit theorems", "uniformly elliptic ballistic walks" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1206.5182S" } } }
