Random walks and the Pell numbers
by
Lou Shapiro
Mathematics Department, Howard University
We start with a classic problem of walks staring at the origin taking north, east, and west steps with no east step followed by a west step and vice versa. This gives a class of nonintersecting random walks and we look at both the underlying group structure and some Fibonacci substructures.
