ABSTRACT

Consider a transient near-critical (1,2) random walk on the lattice of the positive half line. We give a criterion for finiteness of the number of skipped points (the points which are never visited) by the random walk. This result generalizes (partially) the criterion for the finiteness of the number of cutpoints of the nearest-neighbor random walk on the lattice of the positive half line by E.~Cs\'aki, A.~F\"oldes and P.~R\'ev\'esz \cite{cfrb}.
