Abstract

From normal limiting distributions of suitably normed sequences of Galton–Watson processes or Galton-Watson processes with immigration, with initial states tending to ∞, we can derive local limit theorems for the transition probabilities Qn (i, j) and Pn (i, j) in the non-critical case, when initial state i and final state j tend to ∞ with n.
