Continuous-time symmetric simple random walk

ID: continuous-time-symmetric-simple-random-walk

At unit jump rate, this is , where is a rate-one Poisson process and the independent marks are uniform signs. Equivalently it is the difference of two independent rate- Poisson processes. It is a Lévy process with characteristic function , mean zero, variance , and Lévy characteristic exponent in the negative-exponent convention. A general total jump rate rescales time.
