Abstract
We consider a continuous-time random walk which is defined as an interpolation of a random walk on a point process on the real line. The distances between neighboring points of the point process are i.i.d. random variables in the normal domain of attraction of an alpha-stable distribution with alpha in (0,1). This is therefore an example of a random walk in a Lévy random medium. Specifically, it is a generalization of a process known in the physical literature as Lévy–Lorentz gas. We prove that the annealed version of the process is superdiffusive with scaling exponent 1/(1+alpha) and identify the limiting process, which is not càdlàg. The proofs are based on the technique of Kesten and Spitzer for random walks in random scenery.Pubblicazioni consigliate
