The first-order exit-distribution conjecture for symmetric smart kinetic walks

About 10 years old · traced to

Let DD be a simply connected domain containing the origin, and let δ\delta be the lattice spacing of the square lattice. Let μδ(0,∣dz∣;D)\mu_\delta(0,|dz|;D) be the discrete exit distribution of a smart kinetic walk with symmetric transition probability, defined using orthogonal projection of the first point outside DD onto ∂D\partial D. Let μ(0,∣dz∣;D)\mu(0,|dz|;D) be harmonic measure, and let ∣dz∣|dz| denote Lebesgue measure on the boundary with respect to arc length. First-order symmetric-SKW conjecture. There is a function ρD(z)\rho_D(z) on ∂D\partial D depending only on DD and, for each such SKW, a constant cc depending only on the transition probability, such that

lim⁡δ→0μδ(0,∣dz∣;D)−μ(0,∣dz∣;D)δ=cρD(z)∣dz∣.\lim_{\delta\to 0}\frac{\mu_\delta(0,|dz|;D)-\mu(0,|dz|;D)}{\delta}=c\rho_D(z)|dz|.

The conjecture refines the reported numerical convergence of the symmetric SKW exit distribution to harmonic measure by predicting its first-order discrepancy. The simulations support the asserted domain-independence of ρD\rho_D and transition-probability dependence of cc, but the source provides no proof.
