摘要:

Consider a branching random walk, where the underlying branching mechanism is governed by a Galton-Watson process and the moving law of particles by a discrete random variable on the integer lattice Z. Denote by Zn(z) the number of particles in the n-th generation in the model for each zZ. We derive the exact convergence rate in the local limit theorem for Zn(z) assuming a condition like "EN(log N)1+λ < ∞" for the offspring distribution and a finite moment condition on the motion law. This complements the known results for the strongly non-lattice branching random walk on the real line and for the simple symmetric branching random walk on the integer lattice.

Abstract:

Consider a branching random walk, where the underlying branching mechanism is governed by a Galton-Watson process and the moving law of particles by a discrete random variable on the integer lattice Z. Denote by Zn(z) the number of particles in the n-th generation in the model for each z ∈ Z. We derive the exact convergence rate in the local limit theorem for Zn(z) assuming a condition like "EN(log N)1+λ < ∞" for the offspring distribution and a finite moment condition on the motion law. This complements the known results for the strongly non-lattice branching random walk on the real line and for the simple symmetric branching random walk on the integer lattice.
