摘要:
We establish an integral test involving only the distribution of the increments of a random walk S which determines whether lim sup(n-->infinity() S-n/n(k)) is almost surely zero, finite or infinite when 1/2 < k < 1 and a typical step in the random walk has zero mean. This completes the results of Kesten and Maller [9] concerning finiteness of one-sided passage times over power law boundaries, so that we now have quite explicit criteria for all values of k >= 0. The results, and those of [9], are also extended to Levy processes.
