This walk is defined as the sum of a sequence of independent steps, where each step goes in one of the four possible directions with equal probability, and the size of the $n$th step is $a_n$ where $\\{a_n\\}$ is a given sequence of positive integers. We establish some general conditions under which the walk is recurrent, respectively, transient.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2025-06-19T12:23:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60G50", "60J10" ], "keywords": [ "two-dimensional rademacher walk", "one-dimensional rademacher random walk", "general conditions", "independent steps", "equal probability" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
