We study a discrete-time random walk on the non-negative integers, such that when 0 is reached a jump occurs to an arbitrary location, with given probabilities. We obtain an asymptotic formula for the expected position at large times, in dependence on the jump probabilities and on the starting position. Our proof of this result displays the relevance of the spectral analysis of the transition operator associated to the stochastic process, both of its eigenvalues and of its resonances.
