Abstract

In this paper, for any integer k2k\geq 2, we study the distribution of the visible lattice points in certain generalized P\'{o}lya's walk on Zk\mathbb{Z}^k: perturbed P\'{o}lya's walk and twisted P\'{o}lya's walk. For the first case, we prove that the density of visible lattice points in a perturbed P\'{o}lya's walk is almost surely 1/ζ(k)1/\zeta(k), where ζ(s)\zeta(s) denotes the Riemann zeta function. A trivial case of our result covers the standard P\'{o}lya's walk. Moreover, we do numerical experiments for the second case, we conjecture that the density is also almost surely 1/ζ(k)1/\zeta(k).
