TL;DR: In this paper, a random walk with drift to the left is considered and an approximate expression for the characteristic function of the distribution of this random variable is evaluated with the aid of the Fast Fourier Transform.
Abstract: We consider a random walk with drift to the left. LetM n denote the extreme position to the right of the particle during its firstn steps. An approximate expression for the characteristic function of the distribution of this random variable is evaluated. The numerical inversion of this characteristic function is performed with the aid of the Fast Fourier Transform.
