An Almost-sure Renewal Theorem for Branching Random Walks on the Line

چکیده
In the present paper an almost-sure renewal theorem for branching random walks (BRWs) on the real line is formulated and established. The theorem constitutes a generalization of Nerman’s theorem on the almost-sure convergence of Malthus normed supercritical Crump–Mode–Jagers branching processes counted with general characteristic and Gatouras’ almost-sure renewal theorem for BRWs on a lattice.

The Almost Sure Convergence for Weighted Sums of Linear Negatively Dependent Random Variables
In this paper, we generalize a theorem of Shao [12] by assuming that is a sequence of linear negatively dependent random variables. Also, we extend some theorems of Chao [6] and Thrum [14]. It is shown by an elementary method that for linear negatively dependent identically random variables with finite -th absolute moment the weighted sums converge to zero as where and is an array of...
متن کاملMinimal position and critical martingale convergence in branching random walks, and directed polymers on disordered trees
We establish a second-order almost sure limit theorem for the minimal position in a one-dimensional super-critical branching random walk, and also prove a martingale convergence theorem which answers a question of Biggins and Kyprianou [Electron. J. Probab. 10 (2005) 609–631]. Our method applies, furthermore, to the study of directed polymers on a disordered tree. In particular, we give a rigor...
متن کاملCentral Limit Theorem in Multitype Branching Random Walk
A discrete time multitype (p-type) branching random walk on the real line R is considered. The positions of the j-type individuals in the n-th generation form a point process. The asymptotic behavior of these point processes, when the generation size tends to infinity, is studied. The central limit theorem is proved.
متن کاملMinimal Position and and Critical Martingale Convergence in Branching Random Walks
For a branching random walk on the line, an unusual almost sure limit theorem for its minimal position is proved along with a Heyde-Seneta-type convergence result for the critical martingale. The latter answers a question posed by Biggins and Kyprianou [12]. Moreover, the employed method applies to the study of directed polymers on a disordered tree and provides a rigorous proof of a phase tran...
متن کاملA random walk construction of Brownian motion with drift
Brownian motion with drift is constructed on the real line as the almost sure limit of a sequence of random walks. Central to the construction is an embedded varying environment branching process, which encodes the sample path behaviour of the limiting diiusion. We show how a single small time bound on the normed limit of the branching process leads to diierent small and large time bounds on th...
