Durrett–Rogers conjecture on sublinear growth of repulsive self-interacting motion

Suppose that f:RRf:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R} is an odd function of compact support such that xf(x)0xf(x)\ge 0. Let XX be the process defined by the Durrett–Rogers equation. Durrett–Rogers conjecture. The quotient

Xtt\frac{X_t}{t}

converges almost surely to 00. This conjecture concerns the long-time behaviour of a self-interacting diffusion with repulsive compactly supported interaction; it was partially solved by Tarrès, Tóth and Valkó, but the supplied source does not establish a complete resolution.
