Abstract Branching processes $(Z_n)_{n \ge 0}$ in a varying environment generalize the Galton–Watson process, in that they allow time dependence of the offspring distribution. Our main results concern general criteria for almost sure extinction, square integrability of the martingale $(Z_n/\mathrm E[Z_n])_{n \ge 0}$, properties of the martingale limit W and a Yaglom-type result stating convergence to an exponential limit distribution of the suitably normalized population size $Z_n$, conditioned…

We study an extension of the so-called defective Galton-Watson processes obtained by allowing the offspring distribution to change over the generations. Thus, in these processes, the individuals
Yaglom’s limit for critical Galton–Watson processes in varying environment: A probabilistic approach
• Mathematics
• 2020
A Galton-Watson process in varying environment is a discrete time branching process where the offspring distributions vary among generations. Based on a two-spine decomposition technique, we provide

Let (Z n) n≥0 with Z n = (Z n (i, j)) 1≤i,j≤p be a p multi-type critical branching process in random environment, and let M n be the expectation of Z n given a fixed environment. We prove theorems on

Building on the spinal decomposition technique in [10] we prove a Yaglom limit law for the rescaled size of a nearly critical branching process in varying environment conditional on survival. In
