Abstract

Consider the one-dimensional random walk X n : as it evolves (at each unit of time), it either increases by one with probability p or resets to 0 with probability 1 − p . In the present paper, we analyze the law of the height statistics H n , corresponding to our model X n . Also, we prove that the limiting distribution of the walk X n is a shifted geometric distribution with parameter 1 − p and find the closed forms of the mean and the variance of X n using the probability-generating function.
