ABSTRACT

Contrary to the theory of Markov processes, no general theory exists for the so called nonlinear Markov processes. We study an example of "nonlinear Markov process" related to classical probability theory, namely to random walks. This model provides interesting phenomena (absent in classical Markov chains): continuum of stationary measures, conserved quantities, convergence to stationary classical random walks etc.

Keywords: random walks,nonlinear Markov processes,Ornstein - Uhlenbeck process
