Abstract

Following Lyons (1990, Random Walks and Percolation on Trees) we define a periodic tree, restate its branching number and consider a biased random walk on it. In the case of a transient walk, we describe the walk-invariant random periodic tree and calculate the asymptotic rate of escape (speed) of the walk. This is achieved by exploiting the connections between random walks and electric networks.
