A variant of random walk

The special case when the $X_i$'s are +1 or -1 with equal probabilities is called Bernoulli Convolution, see the nice survey by Peres, Schlag and Solomyak: SIXTY YEARS OF BERNOULLI CONVOLUTIONS.

Accumulation points of Green function on a transient graph

The answer is yes. To see this, take a transient graph $G$ (say $\mathbb{Z}^3$) and glue a copy of $\mathbb{N}$ to some vertex (say $v_0$). The vertices of $\mathbb{N}$ now all have $g(v)=1$. If you …

Comparing hitting probabilities for two different random walks

For the first question: yes, suitably scaled, the sequence $S^p_n$ tend to Brownian motion, which is positive infinitely often with probability 1. More precisely, for any fixed $p$, $e(n,p)$ will be a …

Probability of a Random Walk crossing an increasing function of the standard deviation

Check out the Law of iterated Logarithm. Is this enough for your purpose?

exactly simulating a random walk from infinity

To answer your first question (regarding existence of the limit): I never remember references, but all you have to do here is show that for any two far enough starting points, there is a coupling of t …

Averaging over random walk on binary lattice

I'm not sure, but I think what you meant to ask was a practical question: how many random walk samples do I need in order to get a certain precision in estimating $\mathbb{E}(f)$? This question has b …

Random walk to stay in an interval forever

The crucial requirement is that $\sum_{i=0}^\infty t_i^2 < \infty$. See Kolmogorov's two-series theorem and also the more general Kolmogorov's three-series theorem.

How does a quasi-isometry affect Poisson or Martin boundaries?

$\newcommand{\Z}{\mathbb Z}$ $\newcommand{\T}{\mathbb T}$ It is well know that the Poisson boundary of simple random walk on graph is not invariant under quasi isometries. Here's a construction: Tak …

Simple random walk on a locally finite graph: when is it recurrent?

The fundamental result that completely characterizes recurrent/transient graphs is that a graph is recurrent if and only if the effective resistance of the graph, when considered as an electric networ …

Estimate on currents in Cayley graphs

The current from a vertex to infinity in any graph is never in $\ell^1(E)$. Any cutset (that is, a set of edges separating the origin vertex from infinity) will contribute at least a constant to the $ …
