AbstractWe prove an estimate for the speed of convergence of the transition probability for a symmetric random walk on a nilpotent covering graph. To obtain this estimate, we give a complete proof of the Gaussian bound for the gradient of the Markov kernel.

In connection with a statistical problem concerning the Galtontest Cśaki and Vincze [1] gave for an equivalent Bernoullian symmetric random walk the joint distribution of g and k, denoting respectively the number of positive steps and the number of times the particle crosses the origin, given that it returns there on the last step.

Let S0,…,Sn be a symmetric random walk that starts at the origin (S0 = 0) and takes steps uniformly distributed on [— 1,+1]. We study the large-n behavior of the expected maximum excursion and prove the estimate,where c = 0.297952.... This estimate applies to the problem of packing n rectangles into a unit-width strip; in particular, it makes much more precise the known upper bound on the expected minimum height, O(n½), when the rectangle sides are 2n independent uniform random draws from [0,1].

Some exact and asymptotic joint distributions are given for certain random variables defined on the excursions of a simple symmetric random walk. We derive appropriate recursion formulas and apply them to get certain expressions for the joint generating or characteristic functions of the random variables.

In this paper, we consider the random-scan symmetric random walk Metropolis algorithm (RSM) on ℝd. This algorithm performs a Metropolis step on just one coordinate at a time (as opposed to the full-dimensional symmetric random walk Metropolis algorithm, which proposes a transition on all coordinates at once). We present various sufficient conditions implying V-uniform ergodicity of the RSM when the target density decreases either subexponentially or exponentially in the tails.

Considering a simple symmetric random walk in dimension d ≧ 3, we study the almost sure joint asymptotic behavior of two objects: first the local times of a pair of neighboring points, then the local time of a point and the occupation time of the surface of the unit ball around it.
