%N Random walk in R^3: Denominators of the expected distance after n steps.

%C The random variables X_n are defined by X_0 = 0 and X_(n+1) = X_n + U_n where U_n are i.i.d. random variables with uniform distribution on the 2-dimensional sphere. Then a(n) = E(|X_n|), take denominators.

%C Let (V_n)_n be i.i.d. random variables with uniform distribution on the interval [-2,2]. Then a(n) = E(|V_1+...+V_n|), take denominators.
