Harmonic measure in a multidimensional gambler’s problem

We consider a random walk in a truncated cone K _N, which is obtained by slicing cone K by a hyperplane at a growing level of order N. We study the behaviour of the Green function in this truncated cone as N increases. Using these results we also obtain the asymptotic behaviour of the harmonic measure. The obtained results are applied to a multidimensional gambler’s problem studied by Diaconis and Ethier (Staist. Sci. 37 (2022) 289–305). In particular we confirm their conjecture that the probability of eliminating players in a particular order has the same exact asymptotic behaviour as for the Brownian motion approximation. We also provide a rate of convergence of this probability towards this approximation.
