Abstract:
For a supercritical branching process with immigration
(Z_n), a sequence of constant
c_n could be used to describe the growth rate of the process.The asymptotic behavior of
P(Z_n=k_n) (k_n=o(c_n)) is called the lower deviation probability of
Z_n .In this paper, under
EZ_1 \ln Z_1=\infty , first, a local limit theorem of
Z_n is proved.Then in the Schröder and Böttcher cases, the lower deviation probability
P(Z_n=k_n) is discussed, which improves and generalizes the corresponding results in the literature.
