Phase transition in vertex-reinforced random walks on Z with non-linear reinforcement

Volkov, Stanislav LU orcid (2006) In Journal of Theoretical Probability 19(3). p.691-700
Abstract
Vertex-reinforced random walk is a random process which visits a site with probability proportional to the weight w k of the number k of previous visits. We show that if w k ∼ k α, then there is a large time T 0 such that after T 0 the walk visits 2, 5, or ∞ sites when α < 1, = 1, or > 1, respectively. More general results are also proven.
