Central limit theorems for a heavy-tailed subcritical Galton-Watson process with state-dependent immigration

Abstract

In this paper, we study a subcritical Galton-Watson process with state-dependent immigration, where immigration occurs only if the preceding generation is empty. Under heavy-tailed assumptions on the offspring and immigration distributions, we establish central limit theorems for the total progeny up to time $n$, thereby extending existing results for the finite-variance model in the literature.
