Self-Interacting Random Walks. This project aims to study the growth properties of a class of self-interacting processes defined on Euclidean lattices. This project expects to determine whether a shape theorem holds for once-reinforced random walks, and establish conditions for their recurrence/transience. It also expects to obtain new and very precise estimates for the local time of simple random walks. Expected outcomes of this project include solving long-standing open problems in the field o ....Self-Interacting Random Walks. This project aims to study the growth properties of a class of self-interacting processes defined on Euclidean lattices. This project expects to determine whether a shape theorem holds for once-reinforced random walks, and establish conditions for their recurrence/transience. It also expects to obtain new and very precise estimates for the local time of simple random walks. Expected outcomes of this project include solving long-standing open problems in the field of reinforced random walks, and the development of novel methods for their study. This should provide significant benefits not only to the field of mathematics, but also to the myriad of applied disciplines where self-interacting processes are utilised.Read moreRead less
