The method begins by applying the Lagrange inversion formula to arbitrary powers of roots of the characteristic equation, that being a trinomial, which produces generating function as function (z) of the conditional probability of absorption of a particle, on a path restricted by two absorbing barriers. The exact enumeration of an asymmetric walk with two absorbing barriers is given.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-12-19T23:58:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "G.2.1", "G.2.m", "G.3", "G.2" ], "keywords": [ "asymmetric random walk processes", "generating function", "double absorbing barriers", "lagrange inversion formula", "method begins" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
