abstract

  • If a subcritical Galton-Watson process is initiated with an arbitrary mass distribution, then it is known that under certain conditions proper conditional limit distributions exist, depending on a single parameter. It is shown here that there is a one-to-one correspondence between these distributions and those arising from the process with a linear offspring probability generating function.
