Abstract excerpt

If qk is the extinction probability of a slightly supercritical branching process with offspring distribution [pkr:r = 0, 1, 2, ...], then it is shown that if supk sigma r r3pkr less than infinity, inf sigma 2k greater than 0, and mk----1, then 1-qk approximately 2(mk - 1)sigma -2k, where mk = si...
