Laws of iterated logarithm for transient random walks in random environments

Abstract

We consider laws of iterated logarithm for one-dimensional transient random walks in random environments. A quenched law of iterated logarithm is presented for transient random walks in general ergodic random environments, including independent identically distributed environments and uniformly ergodic environments.

Key words： Laws of iterated logarithm; random walk; random environment
