Abstract:
We consider a discrete time simple symmetric random walk among Bernoulli obstacles on the d-dimensional integer lattice, where the walk is killed when it hits an obstacle. It is known that conditioned on survival up to time N, the random walk range is asymptotically contained in a ball of radius CN1/(d+2). For d=1, 2, it is also known that the range asymptotically covers a ball with slightly smaller radius, while the case d>2 remains open. I will talk about the extension of this covering result to any d, as well as a new result on the size of the boundary of range. This talk is based on a joint work with Jian Ding, Rongfeng Sun and Changji Xu.
