Animals, Trees and Renewal Sequences: Corrigendum

IN SECTION 3 of the above we omitted to mention aperiodicity.The period p of the pseudo renewal sequence {a_n: n > 0} isgiven by p = g.c.d. {n > 1: a_n > 0}. We are only concernedwith aperiodic renewal sequences (i.e. where p = 1). As it standsTheorem 3.1 is incorrect and should be restated as: THEOREM 3.1 If a = (a_n: n = 0,1,...) is an aperiodic pseudo-renewalsequence its limit a satisfies g_na^–n > 1 where a^–1 is to be interpreted as; if a = 0.
