A note on the maximal out-degree of Galton-Watson trees

Probability 2015-03-10 v1

Abstract

In this note we consider both the local maximal out-degree and the global maximal out-degree of Galton-Watson trees. In particular, we show that the tail of any local maximal out-degree and that of the offspring distribution are asymptotically of the same order. However for the global maximal out-degree, this is only true in the subcritical case.
