Binomial pmf among arithmetic progressions and sieved sets in random walks

Abstract

We consider the distribution of the binomial probability mass function (pmf) among arithmetic progressions and obtain an average-type theorem. As applications, we consider the possible visits to a kind of sieved sets of integers or lattice points, by an α\alpha-random walker. We show that, almost surely, the asymptotic proportion of time the random walker in a sieved set of the type is equal to the density of the set, independently of α\alpha.
