Original Kurzfassung:
We define trees generated by bi-infinite sequences, calculate their walk-invariant distribution and the speed of a biased random walk. We compare a simple random walk on a tree generated by a bi-infinite sequence with a simple random walk on an augmented Galton-Watson tree. We find that comparable simple random walks require the augmented Galton-Watson tree to be larger than the corresponding tree generated by a bi-infinite sequence. This is due to an inequality for random variables with values in [1,Infinity[ involving harmonic, geometric and arithmetic mean.
