Random walks with square-root boundaries: the case of exact boundaries $g(t)=c\sqrt{t+b}-a$

Let $S(n)$ be a real valued random walk with i.i.d. increments which have zero mean and finite variance. We are interested in the asymptotic properties of the stopping time $T(g):=\inf\{n\ge1: S(n)\le g(n)\}$, where $g(t)$ is a boundary function. In the present paper we deal with the parametric family of boundaries $\{g_{a,b}(t)=c\sqrt{t+b}-a, b\ge0, a>c\sqrt{b}\}$. First, assuming that sufficiently many moments of increments of the walk are finite, we construct a positive space-time harmonic function $W(a,b)$. Then we show that there exist $p(c)>0$ and a constant $\varkappa(c)$ such that $\mathbf{P}(T_{g_{a,b}}>n)\sim \varkappa(c)\frac{W(a,b)}{n^{p(c)/2}}$ as $n\to\infty$.

Structural Properties of Conditioned Random Walks on Integer Lattices with Random Local Constraints

We consider a random walk on a multidimensional integer lattice with random bounds on local times, conditioned on the event that it hits a high level before its death. We introduce an auxiliary "core" process that has a regenerative structure and plays a key role in our analysis. We obtain a number of representations for the distribution of the random walk in terms of the similar distribution of the "core" process. Based on that, we prove a number of limiting results by letting the high level to tend to infinity. In particular, we generalise results for a simple symmetric one-dimensional random walk obtained earlier in the paper by Benjamini and Berestycki (2010).

First-passage times for random walks in the triangular array setting

In this paper we continue our study of exit times for random walks with independent but not necessarily identical distributed increments. Our paper "First-passage times for random walks with non-identically distributed increments" was devoted to the case when the random walk is constructed by a fixed sequence of independent random variables which satisfies the classical Lindeberg condition. Now we consider a more general situation when we have a triangular array of independent random variables. Our main assumption is that the entries of every row are uniformly bounded by a constant, which tends to zero as the number of the row increases.

Lundberg-type inequalities for non-homogeneous risk models

In this paper, we investigate the ruin probabilities of non-homogeneous risk models. By employing martingale method, the Lundberg-type inequalities of ruin probabilities of non-homogeneous renewal risk models are obtained under weak assumptions. In addition, for the periodic and quasi-periodic risk models the adjustment coefficients of the Lundberg-type inequalities are obtained. Finally, examples are presented to show that estimations obtained in this paper are more accurate and the ruin probability in non-homogeneous risk models may be fast decreasing which is impossible for the case of homogeneity.

Exponential bounds of ruin probabilities for non-homogeneous risk models

Lundberg-type inequalities for ruin probabilities of non-homogeneous risk models are presented in this paper. By employing martingale method, the upper bounds of ruin probabilities are obtained for the general risk models under weak assumptions. In addition, several risk models, including the newly defined united risk model and quasi-periodic risk model with interest rate, are studied.

Prokhorov distance with rates of convergence under sublinear expectations

Prokhorov distances under sublinear expectations are presented in CLT and functional CLT, and the convergence rates for them are obtained by Lindeberg method. In particular, the obtained estimate in functional CLT yields known Borovkov's estimate in classical functional CLT with explicit constant.

First-passage times over moving boundaries for asymptotically stable walks

Let $\{S_n, n\geq1\}$ be a random walk wih independent and identically distributed increments and let $\{g_n,n\geq1\}$ be a sequence of real numbers. Let $T_g$ denote the first time when $S_n$ leaves $(g_n,\infty)$. Assume that the random walk is oscillating and asymptotically stable, that is, there exists a sequence $\{c_n,n\geq1\}$ such that $S_n/c_n$ converges to a stable law. In this paper we determine the tail behaviour of $T_g$ for all oscillating asymptotically stable walks and all boundary sequences satisfying $g_n=o(c_n)$. Furthermore, we prove that the rescaled random walk conditioned to stay above the boundary up to time $n$ converges, as $n\to\infty$, towards the stable meander.

First-passage times for random walks with non-identically distributed increments

We consider random walks with independent but not necessarily identical distributed increments. Assuming that the increments satisfy the well-known Lindeberg condition, we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of first-passage times over moving boundaries. Furthermore, we prove that a properly rescaled random walk conditioned to stay above the boundary up to time $n$ converges, as $n\to\infty$, towards the Brownian meander.
