Tóm tắt

Let (X n ) n ≥ 0 be a real random walk starting at 0, with centered increments bounded by a constant K. The main result of this study is: |P(S n √ n ≥ x)−P(σ sup0 ≤ u ≤ 1 B u ≥ x)|≤ C(n,K)√ ∈ n/n, where x ≥ 0, σ2 is the variance of the increments, S n is the supremum at time n of the random walk, (B u ,u≥ 0) is a standard linear Brownian motion and C(n,K) is an explicit constant. We also prove that in the previous inequality S n can be replaced by the local score and sup0 ≤ u ≤ 1 B u by sup0 ≤ u ≤ 1|B u |.
