One dimension random walk. Is hitting time Lipschitz with respect to target?

Random walk to stay in an interval forever

Yes. Indeed, if $s = \sum_{i \geq 1} t_i^2 <1$, then $$ \mathbb{P}[ \ \ \forall n, \sum_{i=1}^n X_i \in [-1,1] \ \ ] \geq 1-s > 0. $$ To see this, note that $M_n = |\sum_{i=1}^n X_i|$ is a nonnegativ …
