1 Introduction A random walk is a stochastic sequence {S n}, with S 0 = 0, deﬁned by S n = Xn k=1 X k, where {X k} are independent and identically distributed random variables (i.i.d.). TherandomwalkissimpleifX k = ±1,withP(X k = 1) = pandP(X k = −1) = 1−p = q. Imagine a particle performing a random walk on the integer points of the real line, where it
