چکیده

The number Yn of oospring of the most proliic individual in the nth generation of a Bienaym e-Galton-Watson process is studied. The asymptotic behavior of Yn as n ! 1 may be viewed as an extreme value problem for i.i.d. random variables with random sample size. Limit theorems for both Yn and EYn provided that the oospring mean is nite are obtained using some convergence results for branching processes as well as a transfer limit lemma for maxima. Subcritical, critical and supercritical branching processes are considered separately.

Occupation Statistics of Critical Branching Random Walks

We consider a critical nearest neighbor branching random walk on the d−dimensional integer lattice. Denote by Vm the maximal number of particles at a single site at time m, and by Gm the event that the branching random walk survives to generation m. We show that if the offspring distribution has finite n-th moment, then in dimensions d ≥ 3, conditional on Gm, Vm = Op(m 1 n ); and if the offspri...

Occupation Statistics of Critical Branching Random Walks in Two or Higher Dimensions

Consider a critical nearest neighbor branching random walk on the d-dimensional integer lattice initiated by a single particle at the origin. Let Gn be the event that the branching random walk survives to generation n. We obtain limit theorems conditional on the event Gn for a variety of occupation statistics: (1) Let Vn be the maximal number of particles at a single site at time n. If the offs...

On the maximal offspring in a critical branching process with infinite variance

We investigate the maximal numberMk of offspring amongst all individuals in a critical Galton–Watson process started with k ancestors. We show that when the reproduction law has a regularly varying tail with index −α for 1 < α < 2, then k−1Mk converges in distribution to a Frechet law with shape parameter 1 and scale parameter depending only on α.

Effects of troxerutin on inflammatory cytokines and BDNF levels in male offspring of high-fat diet fed rats

Objective: In the present study, we aimed to examine the effect of troxerutin treatment on levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), as pro-inflammatory cytokines, in the blood and hippocampus of high-fat diet (HFD) fed dams and their male offspring. <span ...
