Harmonic measure in a multidimensional gambler's problem

Probability 2022-12-23 v1

Abstract

We consider a random walk in a truncated cone KNK_N, which is obtained by slicing cone KK by a hyperplane at a growing level of order NN. We study the behaviour of the Green function in this truncated cone as NN increases. Using these results we also obtain the asymptotic behaviour of the harmonic measure. The obtained results are applied to a multidimensional gambler's problem studied by Diaconis and Ethier (2022). In particular we confirm their conjecture that the probability of eliminating players in a particular order has the same exact asymptotic behaviour as for the Brownian motion approximation. We also provide a rate of convergence of this probability towards this approximation.
