Limit theorems for supercritical branching processes in random environment


Abstract in English

We consider the branching process in random environment ${Z_n}_{ngeq 0}$, which is a~population growth process where individuals reproduce independently of each other with the reproduction law randomly picked at each generation. We focus on the supercritical case, when the process survives with a positive probability and grows exponentially fast on the nonextinction set. Our main is goal is establish Fourier techniques for this model, which allow to obtain a number of precise estimates related to limit theorems. As a consequence we provide new results concerning central limit theorem, Edgeworth expansions and renewal theorem for $log Z_n$.
