Convergence in $L^p$ and its exponential rate for a branching process in a random environment
We consider a supercritical branching process $(Z_n)$ in a random environment $\xi$. Let $W$ be the limit of the normalized population size $W_n=Z_n/E[Z_n|\xi]$. We first show a necessary and sufficient condition for the quenched $L^p$ ($p>1$) convergence of $(W_n)$, which completes the known result for the annealed $L^p$ convergence. We …
