Abstract

Given a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables i , we consider the branching process Zn in a random environment . It is known that under some suitable assumptions the probabilities of large deviations (greater than n) of lnZn and that of its associated random walk Sn are connected by the relation

P(lnZnθn |Z0= 1) ~ I(θ)P(Snθn), n → ∞,

where I(θ) > 0. We obtain similar result for P(lnZnθn + ln m|Z0 = m) for n→ ∞ and m being finite or tending to infinity.
