Favorite Downcrossing Sites of One-Dimensional Simple Random Walk

Probability 2022-11-30 v3

Abstract

Random walk is a very important Markov process and has important applications in many fields.For a one-dimensional simple symmetric random walk (Sn)(S_n), a site xx is called a favorite downcrossing site at time nn if its downcrossing local time at time nn achieves the maximum among all sites. In this paper, we study the cardinality of the favorite downcrossing site set, and will show that with probability 1 there are only finitely many times at which there are at least four favorite downcrossing sites and three favorite downcrossing sites occurs infinitely often. Some related open questions will be introduced.
