Abstract

Suppose {Xt:t0}\{X_{t}:t\ge 0\} is a supercritical superprocess on a Luzin space EE, with a non-local branching mechanism and probabilities Pδx\mathbb{P}_{\delta_{x}}, when initiated from a unit mass at xEx\in E. By ``supercritical", we mean that the first moment semigroup of XtX_{t} exhibits a Perron-Frobenius type behaviour characterized by an eigentriplet (λ1,φ,φ~)(\lambda_{1},\varphi,\widetilde{\varphi}), where the principal eigenvalue λ1\lambda_{1} is greater than 00. Under a second moment condition, we prove that XtX_{t} satisfies a law of large numbers. The main purpose of this paper is to further investigate the fluctuations of the linear functional eλ1tf,Xt\mathrm{e}^{-\lambda_{1}t}\langle f,X_{t}\rangle around the limit given by the law of large numbers. To this end, we introduce a parameter ϵ(f)\epsilon(f) for a bounded measurable function ff, which determines the exponent term of the decay rate for the first moment of the fluctuation. Qualitatively, the second-order behaviour of f,Xt\langle f,X_{t}\rangle depends on the sign of ϵ(f)λ1/2\epsilon(f)-\lambda_{1}/2. We prove that, for a suitable test function ff, the fluctuation of the associated linear functional exhibits distinct asymptotic behaviours depending on the magnitude of ϵ(f)\epsilon(f): If ϵ(f)λ1/2\epsilon(f)\ge \lambda_{1}/2, the fluctuation converges in distribution to a Gaussian limit under appropriate normalization; If ϵ(f)<λ1/2\epsilon(f)<\lambda_{1}/2, the fluctuation converges to an L2L^{2} limit with a larger normalization factor. In particular, when the test function is chosen as the right eigenfunction φ\varphi, we establish a functional central limit theorem. As an application, we consider a multitype superdiffusion in a bounded domain. For this model, we derive limit theorems for the fluctuations of arbitrary linear functionals.
