Abstract:
Galton–Watson trees formed by a critical branching process are considered. The distribution of the number of immediate descendants of the particles in the process has infinite variance. The limit distribution of the number of vertices in the lower layers of a tree is found as the number of vertices approaches infinity.
Keywords:Galton–Watson tree, critical branching process, tree layer,
limit distribution.
