Asymptotic behaviour of heavy-tailed branching processes in random environments

Abstract: Consider a heavy-tailed branching process (denoted by

Z_{n}

) in random environments, under the condition which infers that

m a t h b b E l o g m (x i_{0}) = i n f t y

. We show that (1) there exists no proper

c_{n}

such that

Z_{n} / c_{n}

has a proper, non-degenerate limit, (2) normalized by a sequence of functions, a proper limit can be obtained, i.e.,

converges almost surely to a random variable

, where

Y i n (0, 1) e t a

-a.s., (3) finally, we give a necessary and sufficient conditions for the almost sure convergence of

, where

is a slowly varying function that may depends on
