Uniform conditional law for a triangular-wedge walk
ID: uniform-conditional-law-for-a-triangular-wedge-walk
For a triangular-lattice walk in a sixty-degree wedge with rate on interior edges and doubled outward boundary rates, the horizontal position is conditionally uniform on given its current vertical level and past levels. Within level , the reflecting horizontal generator is symmetric, while vertical killing has constant rate , so the uniform law survives any holding period. Each column of the upward or downward transition-rate block has sum for , yielding a uniform conditional law at the next level. The induced birth-death process has rates and . Its probability of ever hitting zero from level is , so it is transient.
