Asymptotic Behaviour for Isotropic Pearson Random Walks
Abstract
In the Pearson random walk the direction of the i-th step is a random variable uniformly distributed on the d-dimensional sphere, and its length is a non-negative random variable. In a general framework, we are going to study the asymptotic behaviour of the Pearson random walks when the dimension d goes to infinity. Further, we investigate the same convergence result in a more general framework, where both the number and the lengths of the steps depend on the dimension. The results in the present paper can be applied to approximate the distribution of some classical Pearson random walk, for example, in the Dirichlet case.
