Vidmar, Matija A note on the times of first passage for ‘nearly right-continuous’ random walks. (English) Zbl 1307.60054 Electron. Commun. Probab. 19, Paper No. 75, 7 p. (2014). Summary: A natural extension of a right-continuous integer-valued random walk is one which can jump to the right by one or two units. First passage times above a given fixed level then admit – on each of the two events, which correspond to overshoot zero and one, separately – a tractable probability generating function. Some applications are considered.
