Abstract:
Let {Zn,n=0,1,2,…} be a critical branching process in a random environment, and {Sn,n=0,1,2,…} be its associated random walk. It is known that if the increments of this random walk belong (without centering) to the domain of attraction of a stable law, then there exists a regularly varying at infinity sequence a1,a2,… such that conditional distributions
P(Snan≤x∣∣Zn>0),x∈(−∞,+∞),
converge weakly to the distribution of strictly positive proper random variable. In this paper we add to this result the description of the asymptotic behavior of the probability
P(Zn>0,Sn≤φ(n)),
where φ(n)→∞ for n→∞ in such a way that φ(n)=o(an).
Keywords:
branching process, unfavorable random environment, non-extinction probability.
