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

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

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 nn converges, as n→∞n\to\infty, towards the Brownian meander.
