The higher moments of the number of returns of a simple random walk
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 2016
Abstract
We consider a simple random walk starting at 0 and leading to 0 after 2n steps. By a generating functions approach we achieve closed formulae for the moments of the random variables ‘number of visits to the origin'.
