Consider a walker performing a random walk in an i.i.d. random environment, and assume that the walker tells us at each time the environment it sees at its present location. Given this history of the transition probabilities seen from the walker - but not its trajectory - can we reconstruct the law of the environment? We show that in a one-dimensional environment, the law of the environment can be reconstructed. This model can be seen as a special case of a scenery reconstruction problem, where… Expand

Reconstructing a (recurrent) random environment from a single trajectory of Random Walk in Random Environment with errors
We consider one infinite path of Random Walk in Random Environment (RWRE, for short) in an unknown i.i.d.\ environment $\omega$. At each position the random walker stops and tells us the environmentExpand

Various results are collected that classify the ergodic behavior of RWRS in terms of the characteristics of the underlying random walk (and discuss extensions to stationary walk increments and stationary scenery components as well). Expand
