Let ζ be a random environment,of which ζ:={ζn} = {ζn(ω):n∈N} is a stationary and ergodic process, {Zn,n≥ 0} is a branching process in the random environment ζ ,The realization of the sequence of ζ:={ζn} determines a sequence of probalitity generating functions {fn}(n≥0) of the branching process {Zn,n≥0} in the random environment ζA branching process {Zn,n≥0} in the random environment ζ (BPRE)isa family of time-inhomogeneous branching processes:given the environment sequence ζ,the process {Zn,n≥0} acts as a Galton-Watsonprocess in varying environments with probalitily generating functions {fn}(n ≥ 0).By definition,where conditioned on ζ ,(Xn,i,i≥1) are inter-valued random variables...
