Maximal displacement and population growth for branching Brownian motions (Q2325686)

For \(y>0\), denote by \(Z_t^{(y)}\) the number of particles in a spatially inhomogeneous branching Brownian motion in \(\mathbb{R}^d\) which are located in \(\{x\in\mathbb{R}^d: |x|<y\}\) at time \(t\). Under suitable assumptions the author investigates the a.s.\ asymptotic behavior of \(Z_t^{(\delta t)}\) as \(t\to\infty\) for all \(\delta>0\). As a corollary, it is shown that \(L_t\) the maximal norm of the particles alive at time \(t\) grows linearly on the event of survival. Further, close upper and lower bounds are obtained for \(\mathbb{P}_x\{L_t\geq \delta t\}\), where \(x\in\mathbb{R}^d\) and \(t\) is large. From the author's results it follows that there exists \(\delta_0\) such that the growth rate of \(Z_t^{(\delta t)}\) undergoes the phase transition at \(\delta=\delta_0\). A law of the iterated logarithm-type result is proved for \(Z_t^{(\delta_0 t)}\).
