Stochastic Ordering of Infinite Binomial Galton-Watson Trees

Probability 2014-03-20 v1

Abstract

We consider Galton-Watson trees with Bin(d,p){\rm Bin}(d,p) offspring distribution. We let T(p)T_{\infty}(p) denote such a tree conditioned on being infinite. For d=2,3d=2,3 and any 1/dp1<p211/d\leq p_1 <p_2 \leq 1, we show that there exists a coupling between T(p1)T_{\infty}(p_1) and T(p2)T_{\infty}(p_2) such that P(T(p1)T(p2))=1.{\mathbb P}(T_{\infty}(p_1) \subseteq T_{\infty}(p_2))=1.
