چکیده
We investigate the moments of 3-step and 4-step uniform random walk in the plane. In particular, we further analyse a formula conjectured in [BNSW09] expressing 4-step moments in terms of 3-step moments. Diverse related results including hypergeometric and elliptic closed forms for W4(±1) are given and two new conjectures are recorded.

Random Walk Integrals
We study the expected distance of a two-dimensional walk in the plane with unit steps in random directions. A series evaluation and recursions are obtained making it possible to explicitly formulate this distance for small number of steps. Closed form expressions for all the moments of a 2-step and a 3-step walk are given, and a formula is conjectured for the 4-step walk. Heavy use is made of t...
متن کاملSome Arithmetic Properties of Short Random Walk Integrals
We study the moments of the distance traveled by a walk in the plane with unit steps in random directions. While this historically interesting random walk is well understood from a modern probabilistic point of view, our own interest is in determining explicit closed forms for the moment functions and their arithmetic values at integers when only a small number of steps is taken. As a consequen...
متن کاملRandom Walks with Decreasing Steps
We consider a one-dimensional random walk beginning at the origin and moving ± cn at time n. If ∑ cn < ∞ then with probability one the random walk has a final location. We describe the distribution of the final location and find the cumulants and the moments in terms of the power sums of the step sizes. Some interesting definite integrals involving infinite products of trigonometric functions c...
متن کاملNumerical solution and simulation of random differential equations with Wiener and compound Poisson Processes
Ordinary differential equations(ODEs) with stochastic processes in their vector field, have lots of applications in science and engineering. The main purpose of this article is to investigate the numerical methods for ODEs with Wiener and Compound Poisson processes in more than one dimension. Ordinary differential equations with Ito diffusion which is a solution of an Ito stochastic differentia...
متن کاملCritical Behaviour of Self-avoiding Walk in Five or More Dimensions
We use the lace expansion to prove that in five or more dimensions the standard self-avoiding walk on the hypercubic (integer) lattice behaves in many respects like the simple random walk. In particular, it is shown that the leading asymptotic behaviour of the number of «-step self-avoiding walks is purely exponential, that the mean square displacement is asymptotically linear in the number of ...
