Abstract
We prove that the speed of a -biased random walk on a supercritical Galton-Watson tree is differentiable for such that the walk is ballistic and obeys a central limit theorem, and give an expression of the derivative using a certain -dimensional Gaussian random variable. The proof heavily uses the renewal structure of Galton-Watson trees that was introduced by Lyons-Pemantle-Peres.
