Abstract
Given a super-critical Galton-Watson process and a positive sequence , we study the limiting behaviors of and with sums of i.i.d. random variables and . We assume that we are in Schr\"oder case with and is in the domain of attraction of an -stable law with . As by-products, when is sub-exponentially distributed, we further obtain the convergence rates of to as .
