It starts with a unique particle positioned at the origin at time 0 . The particle moves according to a Brownian motion with drift µ = 2 and diffusion coefficient σ 2 = 2 , until an independent exponential time of parameter 1 . At that time, the particle dies giving birth to two children who then start independent copies of the same process from their birth place. It is well-known that in this system, the cloud of particles eventually drifts to ∞ . The aim of this note is to provide a precise estimate for the total number of particles that were born on the negative half-line, investigating in particular the tail decay of this random variable.","PeriodicalId":50543,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Communications in Probability","volume":"13 s1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41269457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the case for many commonly encountered variables, e.g., Bernoulli, Poisson and geometric random variables. In this note, we provide estimates for the probability that the sum of independent monotone integer variables attains precisely a specific value. We do not assume that the variables are identically distributed. Our estimates are sharp when the specific value is close to the mean, but they are not useful further out in the tail. By combining with the trick of emph{exponential tilting}, we obtain sharp estimates for the point probabilities in the tail under a slightly stronger assumption on the random integer variables which we call strong monotonicity.","PeriodicalId":50543,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Communications in Probability","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41525666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
