An exponential estimate for the extinction time of the branching random walk on a cube

Probability 2015-12-21 v2

Abstract

We prove the exponential estimate \begin{equation*} P \{ s < \tau < \infty \} \leq C e^{-q s}, \quad s \geq 0, \end{equation*} where C,q>0C, q >0 are constants and τ \tau is the extinction time of the supercritical branching random walk (BRW) on a cube. We cover both the discrete-space and continuous-space BRWs.
