Abstract
This paper is concerned with the limit theory of the extreme order statistics derived from random walks. We establish the joint convergence of the order statistics near the minimum of a random walk in terms of the Feller chains. Detailed descriptions of the limit process are given in the case of simple symmetric walks and Gaussian walks. Some open problems are also presented.
