In these lecture notes, we will analyze the behavior of random walk on disordered media by means of both probabilistic and analytic methods, and will study the scaling limits. We will focus on the discrete potential theory and how the theory is effectively used in the analysis of disordered media. The first few chapters of the notes can be used as an introduction to discrete potential theory. Recently, there has been significant progress on the theory of random walk on disordered media such as fractals and random media. Random walk on a percolation cluster(‘the ant in the labyrinth’)is one of the typical examples. In 1986, H. Kesten showed the anomalous behavior of a random walk on a percolation cluster at critical probability. Partly motivated by this work, analysis and diffusion processes on fractals have been developed since the late eighties. As a result, various new methods have been produced to estimate heat kernels on disordered media. These developments are summarized in the notes.

This book collects the Proceedings of a Congress held in Frascati (Rome) in the period July 1 -July 10, 1991, on the subject of harmonic analysis and discrete potential theory, and related topics. The Congress was made possible by the financial support of the Italian National Research Council ("Gruppo GNAFA"), the Ministry of University ("Gruppo Analisi Funzionale" of the University of Milano), the University of Rome "Tor Vergata", and was also patronized by the Centro "Vito Volterra" of the University of Rome "Tor Vergata". Financial support for publishing these Proceedings was provided by the University of Rome "Tor Vergata", and by a generous contribution of the Centro "Vito Volterra". I am happy of this opportunity to acknowledge the generous support of all these Institutions, and to express my gratitude, and that of all the participants. A number of distinguished mathematicians took part in the Congress. Here is the list of participants: M. Babillot, F. Choucroun, Th. Coulhon, L. Elie, F. Ledrappier, N. Th. Varopoulos (Paris); L. Gallardo (Brest); Ph. Bougerol, B. Roynette (Nancy); O. Gebuhrer (Strasbourg); G. Ahumada-Bustamante (Mulhouse); A. Valette (Neuchatel); P. Gerl (Salzburg); W. Hansen, H. Leptin (Bielefeld); M.

This book is devoted exclusively to a very special class of random processes, namely, to random walk on the lattice points of ordinary Euclidian space. The author considers this high degree of specialization worthwhile because the theory of such random walks is far more complete than that of any larger class of Markov chains. Almost 100 pages of examples and problems are included.

The main aim of this book is to reveal connections between the physical and geometric properties of space and diffusion. This is done in the context of random walks in the absence of algebraic structure, local or global spatial symmetry or self-similarity. The author studies heat diffusion at this general level and discusses the multiplicative Einstein relation; Isoperimetric inequalities; and Heat kernel estimates; Elliptic and parabolic Harnack inequality.
