Central Limit Theorem for a Class of Nonhomogeneous Random Walks

A spatially nonhomogeneous random walk _t on the grid =^m X ⁿ is considered. Let _t ⁰ be a random walk homogeneous in time and space, and let _t be obtained from it by changing transition probabilities on the set A= X ⁿ, || < , so that the walk remains homogeneous only with respect to the subgroup ⁿ of the group . It is shown that if >m 2 or the drift is distinct from zero, then the central limit theorem holds for _t.
