Consider $e_t$ being i.i.d. uniformly chosen from $\pm 1$. Let $\eta$ be a small positive constant. What is the distribution of $T$ such that $\eta^{0.5} (1+\eta)^T W_T$ first hits $\pm 1$, in which $$...

I want to prove the following biased random walk will be diverge. Suppose I have a random walk $S_n = X_1 + ... + X_n$, but $X_1,...,X_n$ are dependent variables. $X_1 \sim$ Bernoulli($\sigma(\theta_1)...

Consider simple symmetric random walk, $X_{n} = (X_{n}^{(1)}, X_{n}^{(2)})$ with $X_0= (0,0)$, on the 2 dimensional integer lattice, $\textbf{Z}^{2}$. Let $T_{M}, T_{N}$ be the smallest $n$ such ...

In an exercise I am asked to prove the following Wald's identities: let $S_n$ be a simple random walk and $T$ a stopping time. Then for all $\lambda \in \mathbb R,$ $$ \mathbb E(e^{\lambda S_1}) = 1 \...
