Abstract

In this paper, we give some sufficient conditions for the infinite collisions of independent simple random walks on a wedge comb with profile $\{f(n):n\in\mathbb{Z}\}$. One interesting result is that two independent simple random walks on the wedge comb will collide infinitely many times if $f(n)$ has a growth order as $n\log(n)$. On the other hand, if $\{f(n):n\in\mathbb{Z}\}$ are given by i.i.d. non-negative random variables with finite mean, then for almost all wedge combs with such profile, three independent simple random walks on it will collide infinitely many times
