Quantum Bernoulli random walks can be realized as random walks on the dual of SU(2). We use this realization in order to study a model of dynamic quantum Bernoulli random walk with time-dependent transitions. For the corresponding dynamic random walk on the dual of SU(2), we prove several limit theorems (local limit theorem, central limit theorem, law of large numbers, large deviation principle). In addition, we characterize a large class of transient dynamic random walks.

In this research, we continue studying limit theorems for combinatorial numbers satisfying a class of triangular arrays. Using the general results of Hwang and Bender, we obtain a constructive proof of the central limit theorem, specifying the rate of convergence to the limiting (normal) distribution, as well as a new proof of the local limit theorem for the numbers of the tribonacci triangle.

We study the exact asymptotics for the distribution of the first time, τx, a Lévy process Xt crosses a fixed negative level -x. We prove that ℙ{τx >t} ~V(x) ℙ{Xt≥0}/t as t→∞ for a certain function V(x). Using known results for the large deviations of random walks, we obtain asymptotics for ℙ{τx>t} explicitly in both light- and heavy-tailed cases.

Let ·be a sequence of k -dimensional i.i.d. random vectors and define the first-passage times for where (cvτ)v, τ= 1,· ··,k is the covariance matrix of In this paper the weak convergence of Zn in (D[0, ∞))k is proved under the assumption (0,∞) for all v = 1, ···, k. We deduce the result from the Donsker invariance principle by means of Theorem 5.5 of Billingsley (1968). This method is also used to derive a limit theorem for the first-exit time Mn = min{Nnt for fixed t1,···, tk > 0. The second result is an extension of a theorem of Hunter (1974) whose method of proof applies only if Ρ (ξ1 [0,∞)k) = 1 and μ ν = tv for all v = 1, ···, k.

We study the exact asymptotics for the distribution of the first time, τ x , a Lévy process X t crosses a fixed negative level -x. We prove that ℙ{τ x >t} ~V(x) ℙ{X t ≥0}/t as t→∞ for a certain function V(x). Using known results for the large deviations of random walks, we obtain asymptotics for ℙ{τ x >t} explicitly in both light- and heavy-tailed cases.

We consider a real-valued random walk S which drifts to –∞ and is such that E(exp θS1) < ∞ for some θ > 0, but for which Cramér's condition fails. We investigate the asymptotic tail behaviour of the distributions of the all time maximum, the upwards and downwards first passage times and the last passage times. As an application, we obtain new limit theorems for certain conditional laws.
