Local Probabilities for Random Walks Conditioned to Stay Positive
Let S0 = 0, {Sn, n ≥ 1} be a random walk generated by a sequence of i.i.d. random variables X1, X2, ... and let τ = min{n ≥ 1 : Sn ≤ 0} and τ = min{n ≥ 1 : Sn > 0}. Assuming that the distribution of X1 belongs to the domain of attraction of an α-stable law we study the asymptotic behavior, as n → ∞, of the local probabilities P(τ = n) and the conditional local probabilities P(Sn ∈ [x, x+∆)|τ > ...
متن کاملInvariance principles for random walks conditioned to stay positive
Let {Sn} be a random walk in the domain of attraction of a stable law Y, i.e. there exists a sequence of positive real numbers (an) such that Sn/an converges in law to Y. Our main result is that the rescaled process (S⌊nt⌋/an, t ≥ 0), when conditioned to stay positive, converges in law (in the functional sense) towards the corresponding stable Lévy process conditioned to stay positive. Under so...
متن کاملLarge Deviation Results for Random Walks Conditioned to Stay Positive
LetX1, X2, ... denote independent, identically distributed random variables with common distribution F , and S the corresponding random walk with ρ := limn→∞ P (Sn > 0) and τ := inf{n ≥ 1 : Sn ≤ 0}. Under the assumption that X is in the domain of attraction of an α-stable law with αρ < 1, we find an estimate for P (Sn > x|τ > n) which holds uniformly as x/cn →∞, where cn denote the norming cons...
متن کاملA Local Limit Theorem for random walks conditioned to stay positive
We consider a real random walk Sn = X1 + . . . + Xn attracted (without centering) to the normal law: this means that for a suitable norming sequence an we have the weak convergence Sn/an ⇒ φ(x)dx, φ(x) being the standard normal density. A local refinement of this convergence is provided by Gnedenko’s and Stone’s Local Limit Theorems, in the lattice and nonlattice case respectively. Now let Cn d...
متن کاملConditioned Limit Theorems for Random Walks with Negative Drift*
In this paper we will solve a problem posed by Iglehart. In (1975) he conjectured that if Sn is a random walk with negative mean and finite variance then there is a constant c~ so that (St,.j/c~nl/2[N>n) converges weakly to a process which he called the Brownian excursion. It will be shown that his conjecture is false or, more precisely, that if ES~ = a < 0 , ES~ < oo, and there is a slowly var...
