| Jul 31, 2011 at 11:23 | comment | added | Yaakov Baruch | Gerry Myerson: yes, I edited accordingly. @Ricky Demer: I replaced "hit" with "crossed" - I hope that clarifies that I'm not looking for equality of two functions, but for $f$'s such that $\limsup |S_n|/f(n) \ge 1$ with probability 1 | |

| Jul 31, 2011 at 9:21 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | Does it makes sense for a limit on $n$ to be a function of $n$? Perhaps you mean the expected value is asymptotic to that function of $n$? | |
| Jul 31, 2011 at 9:18 | comment | added | user5810 | How is $f(x) = \sqrt{x}$ clearly if $F\hspace{.03 in}$? Among other things, $f$ can only be hit by $|S_n|$ at perfect squares. | |
| Jul 31, 2011 at 8:36 | comment | added | Leonid Petrov | Have you heard about the Law of iterated logarithm? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_iterated_logarithm I think that this may help you. | |
