Central limit theorem for bifurcating Markov chains: the mother-daughters triangles case

The main objective of this article is to establish a central limit theorem for additive three-variable functionals of bifurcating Markov chains. We thus extend the central limit theorem under point-wise ergodic conditions studied in Bitseki-Delmas (2022) and to a lesser extent, the results of Bitseki-Delmas (2022) on central limit theorem under $L^{2}$ ergodic conditions. Our results also extend and complement those of Guyon (2007) and Delmas and Marsalle (2010). In particular, when the ergodic rate of convergence is greater than $1/\sqrt{2}$, we have, for certain class of functions, that the asymptotic variance is non-zero at a speed faster than the usual central limit theorem studied by Guyon and Delmas-Marsalle.
