The extremes of random walks in random sceneries
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 2016
Abstract
In this article we analyse the behaviour of the extremes of a random walk in a random scenery. The random walk is assumed to be in the domain of attraction of a stable law, and the scenery is assumed to be in the domain of attraction of an extreme value distribution. The resulting random sequence is stationary and strongly dependent if the underlying random walk is recurrent. We prove a limit theorem for the extremes of the resulting stationary process. However, if the underlying random walk is recurrent, the limit distribution is not in the class of classical extreme value distributions.
