Branching random walk in the presence of a hard wall
Abstract
We consider a branching random walk on a -ary tree of height (), under the presence of a hard wall which restricts each value to be positive, where is a natural number satisfying . The question of behaviour of Gaussian processes with long range interactions, for example the discrete Gaussian free field, under the condition that it is positive on a large subset of {\color{blue}vertices}, and a relation with the expected maximum of the processes has been observed. We find the probability of the event that the branching random {\color{blue}walk} is positive at every vertex in the generation, and show that the conditional expectation of the Gaussian variable at a typical vertex, under positivity, is less than the expected maximum by order of .
