Random walks with internal degrees of freedom

Between two absorbing barriers consider a random walk with a finite number of internal degrees of freedom and with zero drift. By using a functional-analytic approach based on the spectral theory of matrix polynomials, the asymptotics of the first-hitting probabilities is obtained when the distance of the barriers tends to infinity.
