The speed of a general random walk reinforced by its recent history

Ross G. Pinsky

Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 2020, vol. 130, issue 8, 4793-4807

Abstract: We consider a class of random walks whose increment distributions depend on the average value of the process over its most recent N steps. We investigate the speed of the process, and in particular, the limiting speed as the “history window” N→∞.
