Abstract

A class of one-dimensional, discrete-time random walk models with memory, termed "random walk with n memory channels" (RWnMC), is proposed. In these models the information of n (n∈Z) previous steps from the walker's entire history is needed to decide a future step. Exact calculation of the mean and variance of position of the RW2MC (n=2) has been done, which shows that it can lead to asymptotic diffusive and superdiffusive behavior in different parameter regimes. A connection between RWnMC and a Pólya-type urn model evolving by drawing n balls at a time has also been reported. This connection for the RW2MC is discussed in detail and suggests the applicability of RW2MC in many population dynamics models with multiple competing species.
