Description for Intersections of Random Walks
Paperback. Focusing on a number of problems related to the intersection of random walks and the self-avoiding walk, this text covers such topics as: discrete harmonic measure; the probability that independent random walks do not intersect; and properties of walks without self-intersections. Series: Probability and its Applications. Num Pages: 229 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 279 x 210 x 12. Weight in Grams: 337.
A more accurate title for this book would be "Problems dealing with the non-intersection of paths of random walks. " These include: harmonic measure, which can be considered as a problem of nonintersection of a random walk with a fixed set; the probability that the paths of independent random walks do not intersect; and self-avoiding walks, i. e. , random walks which have no self-intersections. The prerequisite is a standard measure theoretic course in probability including martingales and Brownian motion. The first chapter develops the facts about simple random walk that will be needed. The discussion is self-contained although some ... Read more

"Much of the material is Lawler’s own research, so he knows his story thoroughly and tells it well." —SIAM Review
