Conditional limit theorems for intermediately subcritical branching processes in random environment

V. I. Afanasyev, Ch. Böinghoff, G. Kersting, V. A. Vatutin (2014)

Similarity:

For a branching process in random environment it is assumed that the offspring distribution of the individuals varies in a random fashion, independently from one generation to the other. For the subcritical regime a kind of phase transition appears. In this paper we study the intermediately subcritical case, which constitutes the borderline within this phase transition. We study the asymptotic behavior of the survival probability. Next the size of the population and the shape of the...

Invariance principles for random walks conditioned to stay positive

Francesco Caravenna, Loïc Chaumont (2008)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

Let { be a random walk in the domain of attraction of a stable law 𝒴 , i.e. there exists a sequence of positive real numbers ( ) such that / converges in law to 𝒴 . Our main result is that the rescaled process ( / , ≥0), when conditioned to stay positive, converges in law (in the functional sense) towards the corresponding stable Lévy process conditioned to stay positive. Under some additional assumptions,...
