Our main question is the following: if the walker makes $n$ steps how high can he go up on all legs. This problem is discussed in two different situations; when the number of legs are increasing, as $n$ goes to infinity and when it is fixed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-02-23T21:43:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60F05", "60F15", "60G50", "60J65", "60J10" ], "keywords": [ "simple symmetric random walk", "excursions", "half lines", "main question", "collection" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1402.5682F" } } }
