Note:
Can you guess what happens in general when we have , and the movements are units to right, units to left, units to up and units to down, such that, . Comment intelligently on this problem.
Again let us continue with the problem which we were discussing. So we have
 as  |
Using Stirling's formula or approximation, which is , we have . Again let us pay attention to the fact that when , hence the rate of convergence for is not zero, else the rate of convergence of is 0. So now we have the sequence , , …., and the sum, i.e., iff . Thus the two dimension random walk is recurrent iff .
