Abstract: We consider a branching-selection particle system on the real line. In this model the total size of the population at time n is limited by expleft(an1/3ight). At each step n, every individual dies while reproducing independently, making children around their current position according to i.i.d. point processes. Only the expleft(a(n+1)1/3ight) rightmost children survive to form the (n+1)mathrmth generation. This process can be seen as a generalisation of the branching random walk with selection of the N rightmost individuals, introduced by Brunet and Derrida. We obtain the asymptotic behaviour of position of the extremal particles alive at time n by coupling this process with a branching random walk with a killing boundary.
