Subcritical branching processes in random environment with immigration: survival of a single family

From MaRDI portal
Publication:5150154



Abstract: We consider a subcritical branching process in an i.i.d. random environment, in which one immigrant arrives at each generation. We consider the event %mathcalAi(n) that all individuals alive at time n are offspring of the immigrant which joined the population at time i and investigate the asymptotic probability of this extreme event when noinfty and i is either fixed, or the difference n−i is fixed, or min(i,n−i)oinfty. To deduce the desired asymptotics we establish some limit theorems for random walks conditioned to be nonnegative or negative.
