Limit theorems for probabilities of large deviations of a Galton–Watson process

  • S. V. Nagaev and V. I. Vakhtel

We prove local and integral limit theorems for large deviations of Cramer type for a critical Galton–Watson branching process under the assumption that the radius of convergence of the generating function of the progeny is strictly greater than one. The proof is based on a modified Cramer approach which consists of construction of an auxiliary non-homogeneous in time branching process.
