Abstract
Let be an oscillatory random walk on the integer lattice with i.i.d. increments. Let be the renewal function of the strictly descending ladder height process for . We obtain several sufficient conditions -- given in terms of the distribution function of the increment -- so that as (*) \quad P [ S\; \mbox{leaves $[0,R]$ on its upper side}\, |\, S_0=x] \, \sim\, V_{{\rm d}}(x)/V_{{\rm d}}(R) uniformly for . When is attracted to a stable process of index and there exists , the sufficient condition obtained are also necessary for and fulfilled if and only if , and some asymptotic estimates of the probability on the left side of are given in case .
