Abstract

The asymptotic behaviour of a superadditive bisexual Galton–Watson branching process is studied. Sufficient conditions for the almost sure and L1 convergence of the suitably normed process are given. Finally, a first approach to the study of the L1 convergence for a superadditive bisexual Galton–Watson branching process under the Z log+Z condition is considered.
