Worst-case correction conjecture for time-inhomogeneous branching Brownian motion
For one-dimensional branching Brownian motion with a smooth diffusivity profile whose image is contained in a compact subset of , let be the velocity determined by the paper's equation (eq-vsn13a), and let denote the correction term in the displacement asymptotic (eq-dispn13). Worst-case correction conjecture. The displacement asymptotic holds with this and
The authors motivate the conjecture by observing that strictly decreasing diffusivity appears to produce a correction of order , rather than the logarithmic correction of homogeneous branching Brownian motion; they propose that this is the worst possible correction order. The conjecture is not resolved in the supplied text.
