Abstract

Let {Zm,m0}\{Z_{m},m\geq 0\} be a critical branching process in random environment and {Sm,m0}\{S_{m},m\geq 0\} be its associated random walk. Assuming that the increments distribution of the associated random walk belongs without centering to the domain of attraction of an α\alpha -stable law we prove conditional limit theorems describing, as nn\rightarrow \infty , the distribution the number of particles in the process {Zm,0mn}\{Z_{m},0\leq m\leq n\} given Zn>0Z_{n}>0 and SnconstS_{n}\leq const.
