Asymptotics of the distribution and harmonic moments for a supercritical branching process in a random environment (Q6147695)

Denote by \((Z_n)_{n\geq 0}\) a supercritical branching process in an independent and identically distributed random environment. Further, let \(W\) denote the limit random variable for the standard martingale associated with \((Z_n)\). The authors provide sufficient conditions and, under a boundedness assumption, necessary and sufficient conditions for \(\mathbb{E}(W^{-a}|Z_0=k)<\infty\), \(a>0\), \(k\in\mathbb{N}\). Also, the authors prove that, under certain assumptions, \[ \lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\mathbb{P}\{Z_n=j|Z_0=k\}}{(\mathbb{P}\{Z_1=k|Z_0=k\})^n}=:q_{k,j}\in [0,\infty]\quad\text{for}~~j\geq k \] and analyze properties of the limit constants \(q_{k,j}\) in the case where these are finite.
