Abstract

In this note we prove convergence of Green functions with Neumann boundary conditions for the random walk to their continuous counterparts. Also a few Beurling type hitting estimates are obtained for the random walk on discretizations of smooth domains. These have been used recently in the study of a two dimensional competing aggregation system known as CompetitiveErosionCompetitive\, Erosion. Some of the statements appearing in this note are classical for Z2{\mathbb{Z}}^2. However additional arguments are needed for the proofs in the bounded geometry setting.
