Abstract
We introduce the directed-edge-reinforced random walk and prove that the process is equivalent to a random walk in random environment. Using Oseledec's multiplicative ergodic theorem, we obtain recurrence and transience criteria for random walks in random environment on graphs with a certain linear structure and apply them to directed-edge-reinforced random walks.
