Considering a simple symmetric random walk in dimension d ≧ 3, we study the almost sure joint asymptotic behavior of two objects: first the local times of a pair of neighboring points, then the local time of a point and the occupation time of the surface of the unit ball around it.

Let Qn denote the number of times where a simple random walk reaches its maximum, where the random walk starts at the origin and returns to the origin after 2n steps. Such random walks play an important role in probability and statistics. In this paper the distribution and the moments of Qn , are considered and their asymptotic behavior is studied.

Abstract For an arbitrary transient random walk $$(S_n)_{n\ge 0}$$ ( S n ) n ≥ 0 in $${\mathbb {Z}}^d$$ Z d , $$d\ge 1$$ d ≥ 1 , we prove a strong law of large numbers for the spatial sum $$\sum _{x\in {\mathbb {Z}}^d}f(l(n,x))$$ ∑ x ∈ Z d f ( l ( n , x ) ) of a function f of the local times $$l(n,x)=\sum _{i=0}^n{\mathbb {I}}\{S_i=x\}$$ l ( n , x ) = ∑ i = 0 n I { S i = x } . Particular cases are the number of visited sites [first considered by Dvoretzky and Erdős (Proceedings of the Second Berkeley Symposium on Mathematical Statistics and Probability, pp 353–367, 1951)], which corresponds to the function $$f(i)={\mathbb {I}}\{i\ge 1\}$$ f ( i ) = I { i ≥ 1 } ; $$\alpha $$ α -fold self-intersections of the random walk [studied by Becker and König (J Theor Probab 22:365–374, 2009)], which corresponds to $$f(i)=i^\alpha $$ f ( i ) = i α ; sites visited by the random walk exactly j times [considered by Erdős and Taylor (Acta Math Acad Sci Hung 11:137–162, 1960) and Pitt (Proc Am Math Soc 43:195–199, 1974)], where $$f(i)={\mathbb {I}}\{i=j\}$$ f ( i ) = I { i = j } .

Recent results on the winding angle of the ordinary two-dimensional random walk on the integer lattice are reviewed. The difference between the Brownian motion winding angle and the random walk winding angle is discussed. Other functionals of the random walk, such as the maximum winding angle, are also considered and new results on their asymptotic behavior, as the number of steps increases, are presented. Results of computer simulations are presented, indicating how well the asymptotic distributions fit the exact distributions for random walks with 10m steps, for m = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
