Homogenization and regeneration techniques combine to prove a law of large numbers and an averaged invariance principle. The assumptions are non-nestling and $1+\\e$ (resp.\\ $2+\\e$) moments for the step of the walk uniformly in the environment, for the law of large numbers (resp. invariance principles). We also investigate invariance principles under fixed environments, and invariance principles for the environment-dependent mean of the walk.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-10-18T21:12:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J15", "60K37", "60F17", "82D30" ], "keywords": [ "ballistic random walk", "random environment", "forbidden direction", "large numbers", "environment-dependent mean" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math.....10392R" } } }
