Question
5. Let {S, n ≥ 0} be a simple random walk with So = 0 and S₁ = X₁ + ... + X₁, for n ≥ 1, where
X₁, i = 1, 2, ... are independent random variables with P(X; = 1) = p, P(X¡ = − 1) = q = 1-p for
i > 1. Assume p‡q. Put Fo= {2,0}, Fn = 0(X₁, X2, ..., Xn), n ≥ 1. Let b, a be two fixed positive
integers. Define
T= min{n: S₁ = -a or Sn=b}.
Define Zn = (q/p), n ≥ 0. Prove that {Zn, n ≥ 0} is a martingale with respect to the o-fields
Fn, n ≥ 0.
We can use the conclusion that:
T is a stopping time with respect to the o-fields Fn, n ≥ 0.
