The Minimal Position of a Stable Branching Random Walk (1712.08979v1)

Abstract: In this paper, a branching random walk $(V(x))$ in the boundary case is studied, where the associated one dimensional random walk is in the domain of attraction of an $\alpha-$stable law with $1<\alpha<2$. Let $M_n$ be the minimal position of $(V(x))$ at generation $n$. We established an integral test to describe the lower limit of $M_n-\frac{1}{\alpha}\log n$ and a law of iterated logarithm for the upper limit of $M_n-(1+\frac{1}{\alpha})\log n$.
