Energy of taut strings accompanying random walk

Abstract:
We consider the kinetic energy of the taut strings accompanying trajectories of
a Wiener process and a random walk. Under certain assumptions on the band width,
it is shown that the energy of a taut string accompanying a random walk within a band
satisfies the same strong law of large numbers as proved earlier for a Wiener process
and a fixed band width. New results for Wiener processes are also obtained.
