Abstract

We consider the branching random walk in random environment with a random absorption wall. When we add this barrier, we discuss some topics related to the survival probability. We assume that the random environment is i.i.d., SiS_i is a particular i.i.d. random walk depend on the random environment L\mathcal{L}. Let the random barrier function (the random absorption wall) is gi(L):=aiαSi,g_i(\mathcal{L}):=ai^\alpha-S_i, where ii present the generation. We show that there exists a critical value ac>0a_c>0 such that if a>ac,α=13a>a_c,\alpha=\frac{1}{3}, the survival probability is positive almost surly and if a<ac,α=13a<a_c,\alpha=\frac{1}{3} ,the survival probability is zero almost surely. Moreover, if we denote ZnZ_n is the total populations in nn-th generation in the new system (with barrier),under some conditions, we show lnPL(Zn>0)/n1/3\ln\mathbb{P}_{\mathcal{L}}(Z_n>0)/n^{1/3} will converges to a negative constant almost surely if α[0,13)\alpha\in[0,\frac{1}{3}).
