THE CONSTRUCTION OF MULTITYPE CANONICAL MARKOV BRANCHING CHAINS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS

The investigation for branching processes has a long history by their strong physics background, but only a few authors have investigated the branching processes in random environments. First of all, the author introduces the concepts of the multitype canonical Markov branching chain in random environment (CMBCRE) and multitype Markov branching chain in random environment (MBCRE) and proved that CMBCRE must be MBCRE, and any MBCRE must be equivalent to another CMBCRE in distribution. The main results of this article are the construction of CMBCRE and some of its probability properties.     

THE EXISTENCE AND MOMENTS OF CANONICAL BRANCHING CHAIN IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENT

The concepts of branching chain in random environmnet and canonical branch-ing chain in random environment are introduced. Moreover the existence of these chains is proved. Finally the exact formulas of mathematical expectation and variance of branching chain in random environment are also given.     

RENEWAL THEOREM FOR （L, 1）-RANDOM WALK IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENT

We consider a random walk on Z in random environment with possible jumps {-L,…, -1, 1}, in the case that the environment {ωi ： i ∈ Z} are i.i.d.. We establish the renewal theorem for the Markov chain of ＂the environment viewed from the particle＂ in both annealed probability and quenched probability, which generalize partially the results of Kesten （1977） and Lalley （1986） for the nearest random walk in random environment on Z, respectively. Our method is based on （L, 1）-RWRE formulated in Hong and Wang the intrinsic branching structure within the （2013）.     

A note on multitype branching process with bounded immigration in random environment

In this paper, we study the total number of progeny, W, before regenerating of multitype branching process with immigration in random environment. We show that the tail probability of |W| is of order t-κ as t→∞, with κ some constant. As an application, we prove a stable law for (L-1) random walk in random environment, generalizing the stable law for the nearest random walk in random environment (see "Kesten, Kozlov, Spitzer: A limit law for random walk in a random environment. Compositio Math., 30, 145-168 (1975)").     

Branching random walks with random environments in time

We consider a branching random walk on N with a random environment in time （denoted by ξ）. Let Zn be the counting measure of particles of generation n, and let Zn（t） be its Laplace transform. We show the convergence of the free energy n-llog Zn（t）, large deviation principles, and central limit theorems for the sequence of measures {Zn}, and a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of moments of the limit of the martingale Zn（t）/E[Zn（t）ξ].     

THE DECOMPOSITION OF STATE SPACE FOR MARKOV CHAIN IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENT

This paper is a continuation of [8] and [9]. The author obtains the decomposition of state space X of an Markov chain in random environment by making use of the results in [8] and [9], gives three examples, random walk in random environment, renewal process in random environment and queue process in random environment, and obtains the decompositions of the state spaces of these three special examples.     

ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR FOR RANDOM WALK IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENT WITH HOLDING TIMES

In this article, we mainly discuss the asymptotic behavior for multi-dimensional continuous-time random walk in random environment with holding times. By constructing a renewal structure and using the point ＂environment viewed from the particle＂, under General Kalikow＇s Condition, we show the law of large numbers （LLN） and central limit theorem （CLT） for the escape speed of random walk.     

CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREMS FOR A BRANCHING RANDOM WALK WITH A RANDOM ENVIRONMENT IN TIME

We consider a branching random walk with a random environment in time, in which the offspring distribution of a particle of generation n and the distribution of the displacements of its children depend on an environment indexed by the time n. The environment is supposed to be independent and identically distributed. For AR, let Zn(A) be the number of particles of generation n located in A. We show central limit theorems for the counting measure Zn(·) with appropriate normalization.     

Large deviations for hitting times of a random walk in random environment on a strip

We consider a random walk in random environment on a strip, which is transient to the right. The random environment is stationary and ergodic. By the constructed enlarged random environment which was first introduced by Goldsheid （2008）, we obtain the large deviations conditioned on the environment （in the quenched case） for the hitting times of the random walk.     

The limit theorems for random walk with state space ℝ in a space-time random environment

We consider a discrete time random environment. We state that when the random walk on real number space in a environment is i.i.d., under the law, the law of large numbers, iterated law and CLT of the process are correct space-time random marginal annealed Using a martingale approach, we also state an a.s. invariance principle for random walks in general random environment whose hypothesis requires a subdiffusive bound on the variance of the quenched mean, under an ergodic invariant measure for the environment chain.     

ON MARKOV CHAINS IN SPACE-TIME RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS

In Section 1, the authors establish the models of two kinds of Markov chains in space-time random environments (MCSTRE and MCSTRE(+)) with abstract state space. In Section 2, the authors construct a MCSTRE and a MCSTRE(+) by an initial distribution Φ and a random Markov kernel (RMK) p(γ). In Section 3, the authors es-tablish several equivalence theorems on MCSTRE and MCSTRE(+). Finally, the authors give two very important examples of MCMSTRE, the random walk in spce-time random environment and the Markov br...

In this paper, we establish the discrete approximation of continuous-state nonlinear branching processes in Lévy random environments by using tightness and convergence sequence in infinite dimensional product space via stochastic differential equations. Taking α-stable branching as an example, the conditions which are given to discretize continuous-state nonlinear branching processes in Lévy random environments are verified. © 2022 Chinese Academy of Sciences.

MOMENTS AND LARGE DEVIATIONS FOR SUPERCRITICAL BRANCHING PROCESSES WITH IMMIGRATION IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS

Let（Z_n） be a branching process with immigration in a random environment ξ,where ξ is an independent and identically distributed sequence of random variables.We show asymptotic properties for all the moments of Zn and describe the decay rates of the n-step transition probabilities.As applications,a large deviation principle for the sequence log Zn is established,and related large deviations are also studied.     

The construction of markov processes in random environments and the equivalence theorems

In sec.1, we introduce several basic concepts such as random transition function, p-m process and Markov process in random environment and give some examples to construct a random transition function from a non-homogeneous density function. In sec. 2, we construct the Markov process in random enviromment and skew product Markov process by p -m process and investigate the properties of Markov process in random environment and the original process and environment process and skew product process. In sec. 3, we give several equivalence theorems on Markov process in random environment.     

Tail estimates for one-dimensional non-nearest-neighbor random walk in random environment

Suppose that the integers are assigned i.i.d. random variables {(β gx , . . . , β 1x , α x )} (each taking values in the unit interval and the sum of them being 1), which serve as an environment. This environment defines a random walk {X n } (called RWRE) which, when at x, moves one step of length 1 to the right with probability α x and one step of length k to the left with probability β kx for 1≤ k≤ g. For certain environment distributions, we determine the almost-sure asymptotic speed of the RWRE and show that the chance of the RWRE deviating below this speed has a polynomial rate of decay. This is the generalization of the results by Dembo, Peres and Zeitouni in 1996. In the proof we use a large deviation result for the product of random matrices and some tail estimates and moment estimates for the total population size in a multi-type branching process with random environment.     

The Invariance Principle for p-θ^→ Chain

There are two parts in this paper. In the first part we construct the Markov chain in random environment（MCRE）, the skew product Markov chain and p-θ^→ chain from a random transition matrix and a two-dimensional probability distribution, and in the second part we prove that the invarianee principle for p-θ^→ chain, a more complex non-homogeneous Markov chain, is true under some reasonable conditions. This result is more powerful.     

Harmonic moments of branching processes in random environments

We consider harmonic moments of branching processes in general random environments. For a sequence of square integrable random variables, we give some conditions such that there is a positive constant c that every variable in this sequence belong to Ac or A1c uniformly.     

A random walk with a branching system in random environments

We consider a branching random walk in random environments, where the particles are reproduced as a branching process with a random environment (in time), and move independently as a random walk on Z with a random environment (in locations). We obtain the asymptotic properties on the position of the rightmost particle at time n, revealing a phase transition phenomenon of the system.     

Infinitely dimensional control Markov branching chains in random environments

First of all we introduce the concepts of infinitely dimensional control Markov branching chains in random environments (β-MBCRE) and prove the existence of such chains, then we introduce the concepts of conditional generating functionals and random Markov transition functions of such chains and investigate their branching property. Base on these concepts we calculate the moments of the β-MBCRE and obtain the main results of this paper such as extinction probabilities, polarization and proliferation rate. Finally we discuss the classification of β-MBCRE according to the different standards.     

On total progeny of multitype Galton-Watson process and the first passage time of random walk on lattice

In this paper,we form a method to calculate the probability generating function of the total progeny of multitype branching process.As examples,we calculate probability generating function of the total progeny of the multitype branching processes within random walk which could stay at its position and(2-1) random walk.Consequently,we could give the probability generating functions and the distributions of the first passage time of corresponding random walks.Especially,for recurrent random walk which could stay at its position with probability 0 r 1,we show that the tail probability of the first passage time decays as 2/(π(1-r)~(1/2)) n~(1/1)= when n →∞.
