The difference between a discrete and continuous harmonic measure
Abstract
We consider a discrete-time, continuous-state random walk with steps uniformly distributed in a disk of radius of . For a simply connected domain in the plane, let be the discrete harmonic measure at associated with this random walk, and be the (continuous) harmonic measure at . For domains with analytic boundary, we prove there is a bounded continuous function on such that for functions which are in for some We give an explicit formula for in terms of the conformal map from to the unit disc. The proof relies on some fine approximations of the potential kernel and Green's function of the random walk by their continuous counterparts, which may be of independent interest.
