Let be a positive integer, a positive constant and ( ) ≥1 be a sequence of independent identically distributed pseudorandom variables. We assume that the 's take their values in the discrete set {− , − + 1, . . . , − 1, } and that their common pseudodistribution is characterized by the (positive or negative) real numbers P{ = } = 0 + (−1) −1 ( 2 + ) for any ∈ {− , − + 1, . . . , − 1, }. Let us finally introduce ( ) ≥0 the associated pseudorandom walk defined on Z by 0 = 0 and = ∑ =1 for ≥ 1. In this paper, we exhibit some properties of ( ) ≥0 . In particular, we explicitly determine the pseudodistribution of the first overshooting time of a given threshold for ( ) ≥0 as well as that of the first exit time from a bounded interval. Next, with an appropriate normalization, we pass from the pseudorandom walk to the pseudo-Brownian motion driven by the high-order heat-type equation / = (−1) −1 2 / 2 . We retrieve the corresponding pseudodistribution of the first overshooting time of a threshold for the pseudo-Brownian motion (Lachal, 2007). In the same way, we get the pseudodistribution of the first exit time from a bounded interval for the pseudo-Brownian motion which is a new result for this pseudoprocess.
