TLDR

Abstract
Abstract An iterated perturbed random walk is a sequence of point processes defined by the birth times of individuals in subsequent generations of a general branching process provided that the birth times of the first generation individuals are given by a perturbed random walk. We prove counterparts of the classical renewal-theoretic results (the elementary renewal theorem, Blackwell’s theorem, and the key renewal theorem) for the number of j th-generation individuals with birth times $\leq t$ , when $j,t\to\infty$ and $j(t)={\textrm{o}}\big(t^{2/3}\big)$ . According to our terminology, such generations form a subset of the set of intermediate generations.

Renewal theory for iterated perturbed random walks on a general branching process tree: early generations

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the functional limit of a vector-valued Gaussian process whose components are integrated Brownian motions is a strong law of large numbers for the variance of a branching process.

Stable fluctuations of iterated perturbed random walks in intermediate generations of a general branching process tree*

TL;DR: In this article , the authors considered a general branching process, a.k.a. Crump-Mode-Jagers process, and provided sufficient conditions under which the finite-dimensional distributions of the process (N⌊j(t)u⌋(t))u > 0, properly normalized and centered, converge weakly to those of a stable Lévy process with finite mean.

On intermediate levels of a nested occupancy scheme in a random environment generated by stick-breaking II

TL;DR: In this paper , Buraczewski, Dovgay, and Iksanov showed that the Bernoulli sieve is a generalization of the Karlin infinite balls-in-boxes occupancy scheme in a random environment.

Renewal theory for iterated perturbed random walks on a general branching process tree: Early generations

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors considered a general branching process generated by a random walk and showed a functional limit theorem for the vector-valued Gaussian process whose components are integrated Brownian motions, and proved the first-order asymptotics for the variance of the variance.

Uniform Convergence of Martingales in the Branching Random Walk

TL;DR: In this article, the convergence of the martingale limit of a supercritical branching random walk was shown to be uniform in √ √ n, where n is the number of generations.

Chernoff's theorem in the branching random walk

Abstract: If Fn∗ is the n-fold Stieltjes convolution of the increasing function F, then a version of Chernoff's theorem, on the limiting behaviour of (Fn∗ (na))1/n , is established for Fn∗ . If Z (n)(t) is the number of the nth-generation people to the left of t in a supercritical branching random walk then an analogous result is proved for Z (n).

Growth Rates in the Branching Random Walk

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the branching random walk on the real line, where an initial ancestor is at the origin and has children, the first generation, and these have positions which form a point process on the line.
