Let $\{Z_n, n\geq 0\}$ be a supercritical branching process in an independent and identically distributed random environment. We prove Cram\'{e}r moderate deviations and Berry-Esseen bounds for $\ln (Z_{n+n_0}/Z_{n_0})$ % under the annealed…

In this paper, we consider the subcritical branching random walk in a random environment. We assume the branching and the step jump are independent; and the branching is in random envirenment, i.e., the particles in generation $n$ produce…

Let (X_n,Y_n) be i.i.d. random vectors. Let W(x) be the partial sum of Y_n just before that of X_n exceeds x>0. Motivated by stochastic models for neural activity, uniform convergence of the form $\sup_{c\in I}|a(c,x)\operatorname…

We study nearest neighbor random walks on fixed environments of $\mathbb{Z}$ composed of two point types : $(1/2,1/2)$ and $(p,1-p)$ for $p>1/2$. We show that for every environment with density of $p$ drifts bounded by $\lambda$ we have…

We are interested in the randomly biased random walk on the supercritical Galton--Watson tree. Our attention is focused on a slow regime when the biased random walk $(X_n)$ is null recurrent, making a maximal displacement of order of…
