Abstract

Consider a critical branching random walk on R\mathbb{R}. Let Z(n)(A)Z^{(n)}(A) be the number of individuals in the nn-th generation located in AB(R)A\in \mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}) and Zn:=Z(n)(R)Z_{n}:=Z^{(n)}(\mathbb{R}) denote the population of the nn-th generation. We prove that, under some conditions, for all xRx\in \mathbb{R}, as nn\to \infty, L(Z(n)(,nx]n  Zn>0)L(Y(x)),\mathcal{L}\left(\frac{Z^{(n)}(-\infty, \sqrt{n} x]}{n} ~\bigg |~ Z_{n}>0\right) \Longrightarrow\mathcal{L}\left(Y(x)\right), where \Rightarrow means weak convergence and Y(x)Y(x) is a random variable whose distribution is specified by its moments.
