A sequence is defined by the recurrence relation \({U_n} = m{U_{n - 1}} + c\) Find the values of \(m\) and \(c\) if \({U_1} = - 3\), \({U_2} = 7\) and \({U_3} = 10 ...

The purpose of this paper is to provide explicit formulas for a variety of probabilistic quantities associated with an asymmetric random walk on a finite rectangular lattice with absorbing barriers.
