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

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

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→∞.
