Abstract

We prove a quenched invariance principle for continuous-time random walks in a dynamically averaging environment on Z. In the beginning, the conductances may fluctuate substantially, but we assume that as time proceeds, the fluctuations decrease according to a typical diffusive scaling and eventually approach constant unit conductances. The proof relies on a coupling with the standard continuous time simple random walk.
