Mar 15, 2010 at 18:18 comment added Douglas Zare By the way, it seems like it should be known how likely it is that a random walk will visit $(x,y)$ before it visits $(x_f,y_f)$.
Mar 15, 2010 at 8:04 comment added Douglas Zare Yes, that's close to the second-to-last displayed equation, but I'd still need to relate $p_n$ and $q_n$.
Mar 15, 2010 at 7:41 comment added Robin Chapman Can't you get this slightly quicker by splitting into two pieces: from $(0,0)$ to the first visit to $(x_f,y_f)$, and a general path from $(x_f,y_f)$ to $(x,y)$ ?
