Random walk1

In class we were introduced to the random walk concept. Elise came up with a concept that:

n= number  of steps

m= number of vertices

x= number of open vertices at each steps

Have been           Have not been at a place

P(x)= n/m           P(1-x) = 1-n/m

x >= 3   creates four mini squares in a pane

P(x=1) = (1- n/m)

P(x=2) = (1- n/m)^2

P(x=3) = (1- n/m)^3

if it is on a vertices a square we get (1- n/m)^0

has n goes to infinity.

Expected values

E(x) = 3 (P(x=3)….)) + 2 (P(x=2)….)+ P(x=1)…..)

random walk 2^n is linear

E(x)^n = approximation # of random walk
