Abstract: Let alpha be an irrational number, let X1,X2,ldots be independent, identically distributed, integer-valued random variables, and put Sk=sumj=1kXj. Assuming that X1 has finite variance or heavy tails , , in Part I of this paper we proved that, up to logarithmic factors, the order of magnitude of the discrepancy DN(Skalpha) of the first N terms of the sequence Skalpha is O(N−au), where (with in the case of finite variances) and gamma is the strong Diophantine type of alpha. This shows a change of behavior of the discrepancy at . In this paper we determine the exact order of magnitude of DN(Skalpha) for , and determine the limit distribution of N−1/2DN(Skalpha). We also prove a functional version of these results describing the asymptotic behavior of a wide class of functionals of the sequence Skalpha. Finally, we extend our results to the discrepancy of Sk for general random walks Sk without arithmetic conditions on X1, assuming only a mild polynomial rate on the weak convergence of Sk to the uniform distribution.
