AN INTRODUCTION TO RANDOM WALKSDEREK this paper, we investigate simple RANDOM WALKS inn-dimensionalEuclidean Space. We begin by defining simple RANDOM walk ; we give particularattention to the symmetric RANDOM walk on thed-dimensional integer latticeZd. We proceed to consider returns to the origin, recurrence, the level-crossingphenomenon, and the Gambler s Introduction12. Simple RANDOM walk onZd23.

Gambler s , a RANDOM walk is a path that is created by some stochastic a simple example, consider a person standing on the integer line who flips a coinand moves one unit to the right if it lands on heads, and one unit to the left if itlands on tails.
