Abstract

We provide an alternative procedure for determining the range distribution, whose virtue is its much greater simplicity and effectiveness for computational purposes. Indeed, our closed-form results are deprived of the rapidly oscillating trigonometric terms. The well-known convergence of a r.w. to a Wiener process is finally exploited to obtain an asymptotic formula for the mean range of the r.w.
