Let X₁, X₂,... be independent random variables, each taking a value of either 1 (with probability p) or −1 (with probability q = 1 − p). Assume So= = a for some a EZ and let Sn = a + X₁ for n ≥ 1. i=1 Sn is known as the simple random walk. Show that: (i) Sn is spatially homogenous: n P(Sn = b|So = a) = P(Sn = b +c|So = a + c). (ii) Sn is temporally homogenous: P(Sn = b|So = a) = P(Sm+n = b[Sm = a). (iii) Sn has the Markov property: P(Sm+n=b|So = a0, S₁ = a1,..., Sm = Note: |ai — ai_1] = 1 for 1 ≤ i < m am) = P(Sm+n = b|Sm = am).
