We give a characterization of 0* (a) in terms of the largest eigenvalue of a one-parameter family of NI x NI matrices. This allows us to prove that 0* (a) is an analytic function of the strength a of the self-repellence. In addition to the speed we prove a limit law for the local times of the random walk. The techniques used enable us to treat more general forms of self-repellence involving multiple intersections. We formulate a partial differential inequality that is equivalent to a -* 0*(a) being (strictly) increasing. The verification of this inequality remains open.
