Abstract

We consider the distributional equation Z=dk=1NAkZ(k)\textbf{Z}\stackrel{d}{=}\sum_{k=1}^N\textbf{A}_k\textbf{Z}(k) , where NN is a random variable taking value in N0={0,1,}\mathbb N_0=\{0,1,\cdots\}, A1,A2,\textbf{A}_1,\textbf{A}_2,\cdots are p×pp\times p non-negative random matrix, and Z,Z(1),Z(2),\textbf{Z},\textbf{Z}(1),\textbf{Z}(2),\cdots are i.i.di.i.d random vectors in in R+p\mathbb{R}_+^p with R+=[0,)\mathbb{R}_+=[0,\infty), which are independent of (N,A1,A2,)(N,\textbf{A}_1,\textbf{A}_2,\cdots). Let {Yn}\{\mathbf Y_n\} be the multi-dimensional Mandelbrot's martingale defined as sums of products of random matrixes indexed by nodes of a Galton-Watson tree plus an appropriate vector. Its limit Y\mathbf Y is a solution of the equation above. For α>1\alpha>1, we show respectively a sufficient condition and a necessary condition for EYα(0,)\mathbb E\|\mathbf Y\|^\alpha\in(0,\infty). Then for a non-degenerate solution Z\mathbf Z of the equation above, we show the decay rates of EetZ\mathbb E e^{-\mathbf t\cdot \mathbf Z} as t\|\mathbf t\|\rightarrow\infty and those of the tail probability P(yZx)\mathbb P(\mathbf y\cdot \mathbf Z\leq x) as x0x\rightarrow 0 for given y=(y1,,yp)R+p\mathbf y=(y^1,\cdots,y^p)\in \mathbb R_{+}^p, and the existence of the harmonic moments of yZ\mathbf y\cdot \mathbf Z. As application, these above results about the moments (of positive and negative orders) of Y\mathbf Y are applied to a special multitype branching random walk. Moreover, for the case where all the vectors and matrixes of the equation above are complex, a sufficient condition for the LαL^\alpha convergence and the α\alphath-moment of the Mandelbrot's martingale {Yn}\{\mathbf Y_n\} is also established.
