Computing Sticks against Random Walk

Abstract

Alexander Yurkin

A new deterministic model with the help of geometric constructions and computing sticks (not related to trajectories) is proposed for the new justification of consistency of the probabilistic approach to explain the random walk on a plane. A new, stepped form of the arithmetic triangle of Pascal based on the construction of horizontal and vertical lines (arrows) is suggested, a comparison is made with Pascal’s triangle of the usual form. A two-sided generalization of Pascal’s triangle is proposed. Geometric constructions and formulas for calculating the coefficients that fill in these new geometric (arithmetic) figures are given. Further types of generalization of the step-shaped Pascal triangle are proposed. Examples of generalized initial conditions and generalized recursive formulas for constructing various types of a generalized Pascal triangle are given.
