Abstract

We obtain an extension of a theorem of Bingham and Doney connecting the random variables Z1 and W in the supercritical Galton-Watson process. The regular variation of the distribution of Z1 is equivalent to the regular variation of the tail of the distribution of W for integer values of α > 1.
