Asymptotic behaviors of subcritical branching killed Brownian motion with drift (2407.01816v2)

Abstract: In this paper, we study asymptotic behaviors of a subcritical branching killed Brownian motion with drift $-\rho$ and offspring distribution ${p_k:k\ge 0}$. Let $\widetilde{\zeta}^{-\rho}$ be the extinction time of this subcritical branching killed Brownian motion, $\widetilde{M}t^{-\rho}$ the maximal position of all the particles alive at time $t$ and $\widetilde{M}^{-\rho}:=\max{t\ge 0}\widetilde{M}t^{-\rho}$ the all time maximal position. Let $\mathbb{P}_x$ be the law of this subcritical branching killed Brownian motion when the initial particle is located at $x\in (0,\infty)$. Under the assumption $\sum{k=1}^\infty k (\log k) p_k <\infty$, we establish the decay rates of $\mathbb{P}_x(\widetilde{\zeta}^{-\rho}>t)$ and $\mathbb{P}_x(\widetilde{M}^{-\rho}>y)$ as $t$ and $y$ tend to $\infty$ respectively. We also establish the decay rate of $\mathbb{P}_x(\widetilde{M}_t^{-\rho}>z(t,\rho))$ as $t\to\infty$, where $z(t,\rho)=\sqrt{t}z-\rho t$ for $\rho\leq 0$ and $z(t,\rho)=z$ for $\rho>0$. As a consequence, we obtain a Yaglom-type limit theorem.
