Upper deviation probabilities for level sets of a supercritical branching random walk (2402.03872v1)

Published 6 Feb 2024 in math.PR

Abstract: Given a supercritical branching random walk ${Z_n}{n\geq 0}$ on $\mathbb{R}$, let $Z_n([y,\infty))$ be the number of particles located in $[y,\infty)\subset\mathbb{R}$ at generation $n$. Let $m$ be the mean of the offspring law of ${Z_n}{n\geq 0}$ and $I(x)$ be the large deviation rate function of the underlying random walk of ${Z_n}_{n\geq 0}$. It is known from [6] that under some mild conditions, for $x\in(0,x*)$, $n{-1}\log Z_n([nx,\infty))$ converges almost surely to $\log m- I(x)$ on the event of nonextinction as $n\to\infty$, where $x*$ is the speed of maximal position of the branching random walk. In this work, we investigate its upper deviation probabilities, in other words, the convergence rates of [\mathbb{P}(Z_n([xn,\infty))\geq e{an})] as $n\to\infty$, where $x>0$ and $a>(\log m- I(x))+$. This paper is a counterpart work of the lower deviation probabilities [28] and also completes those results in [1] for the branching Brownian motion.
