1 Gambler’s Ruin Problem - Columbia University

1 Gambler’s Ruin Problem Consider a gambler who starts with an initial fortune of $1 and then on each successive gamble either wins $1 or loses $1 independent of the past with probabilities p and q = 1−p respectively. Let R n denote the total fortune after the nth gamble. The gambler’s objective is to reach a total

Chapter 1 Markov Chains - Yale University

Gambler’s Ruin. Consider a Markov chain on S= ... In this case, the outcome of the game depends on the Gambler’s fortune. When the fortune is i, the Gambler either wins or loses $1 with respective probabilities p i or q i, or breaks even (the fortune does not change) with probability r i. Another interpretation is that the state of the ...

ONE-DIMENSIONAL RANDOM WALKS

Gambler’s Ruin. Simple random walk describes (among other things) the fluctuations in a speculator’s wealth when he/she is fully invested in a risky asset whose value jumps by either 1 in each time period. Although this seems far too simple a model to be of any practical value,

random walk have been studied over the years (i.e., the gambler's ruin, drunken sailor, etc.). At first, a discrete random walk is introduced. Then, it is shown that a limiting form of the random walk is the well-known continuous Wiener process. Finally, simple equations are developed that

Introduction to Stochastic Calculus - Duke University

i) The gambler’s ruin problem We play the following game: We start with 3$ in our pocket and we ip a coin. If the result is tail we loose one dollar, while if the result is positive we win one dollar. We stop when we have no money to bargain, or when we reach 9$. We may ask: what is the probability that I end up broke?

Essentials of Stochastic Processes - Duke University

To check this for the gambler’s ruin chain, we note that if you are still playing at time n, i.e., your fortune X n = i with 0 < i < N, then for any possible history of your wealth i n−1,i n−2,...i 1,i 0 P(X n+1 = i+1|X n = i,X n−1 = i n−1,...X 0 = i 0) = 0.4 since to increase your wealth by one unit you have to win your next bet.
