The convergence conjecture for the branching-random-walk maximum
The convergence conjecture for the branching-random-walk maximum
Let be the maximum at generation in the branching random walk considered in the paper, and let be its deterministic centering term. Branching-random-walk convergence conjecture. There is a random variable with continuous distribution such that
The paper notes that convergence in probability of this centered maximum is known under certain displacement-law conditions, but is not known for the model arising from Pratt trees.
