Feb 28, 2013 at 0:37 comment added yves However,I would be very interested to see any result which translate a concentration of $X(t)$ into a concentration of $Y(t)$, so feel free to dispense/modify the technical assumptions.
Feb 28, 2013 at 0:36 comment added yves I threw in the words "position dependent" in there, and specified that the assumption should hold for all $c$ and for all $t$ large enough.

Feb 27, 2013 at 17:04 comment added Günter Rote Should the assumption hold for all $c$? Is it essential that the walk moves to the right on average (like $(1/3)t$ in your example) our would a movement to the left or a stationary concentration around $0$ be permitted? (In the last cases there would probably be easy counterexamples when some $p_n$ is changed from 0 to $\epsilon$.)
Feb 27, 2013 at 13:36 comment added Lee Mosher Stick the words "position dependent" in there somewhere?
Feb 27, 2013 at 2:22 comment added yves I added a sentence emphasizing that all $p_n$ are not the same. About the title, I'm not sure what else captures my question in a pithy way.

Feb 27, 2013 at 2:19 comment added David White I recommend a different title. I only clicked on it to vote to close because I assumed you were asking ``what happens if at each $n$, the probability of going right is $p>1/2$'' which is of course well understood. The fact that your probability changes based on which $n$ you're at should probably be highlighted.
