Abstract.
Motivated by the recent work of Benjamini, Häggström,
Peres, and Steif (2003)
on dynamical random walks, we:
- Prove that, after a
suitable normalization,
the dynamical Gaussian walk converges weakly to the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck
process in classical Wiener space;
- derive sharp tail-asymptotics
for the probabilities of large deviations of the said dynamical walk;
and
- characterize (by way of an integral test)
the minimal envelop(es) for the growth-rate of the
dynamical Gaussian walk.
This development also
implies the tail capacity-estimates of
Mountford (1992) for
large deviations in classical Wiener space.
The results of this paper give a partial affirmative
answer to the problem, raised in Benjamini et al
(2003, Question 4),
of whether there are precise connections
between the OU process in classical
Wiener space and dynamical random walks.
Keywords.
Dynamical walks, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process in Wiener
space, large deviations, upper functions.
