Local probabilities for random walks conditioned to stay positive

Abstract: Abstract. Let S 0 = 0, {Sn, n ≥ 1} be a random walk generated by a sequence of i.i.d. random variables X 1 , X 2 , ... and let τ − = min{n ≥ 1 : Sn ≤ 0} and τ + = min{n ≥ 1 : Sn > 0}. Assuming that the distribution of X 1 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 − > n) for fixed ∆ and x = x(n) ∈ (0, ∞) .

“…, G n v ∈ B c } and find the limit law for the quantity 1 √ n log G n v conditioned that τ v > n. The study of related problems for random walks in R has attracted much attention. We refer the reader to Spitzer [28], Iglehart [20], Bolthausen [5], Bertoin and Doney [2], Doney [10], Borovkov [3,4], Vatutin and Wachtel [30], Caravenna [7] and to references therein. Random walks in R d conditioned to stay in a cone have been considered in Shimura [27], Garbit [14], Echelsbacher and König [11] and Denisov and Wachtel [8,9].…”
