Abstract
Let \( \{ X_i^k :i \in \mathbb{N},k \in \mathbb{Z}_ + \} \) be i.i.d. \( \mathbb{Z}_ + \)-valued random variables with mean 1 and variance γ > 0. We think of \( X_i^k \) as the number of offspring of the {iti}{suth} individual in the {itk}{suth} generation, so that \( Z_{k + 1} = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^{z_k } {X_i^k (set Z_0 \equiv 1)} \) is the size of the {itk} + 1{sust} generation of a Galton-Watson branching process with offspring distribution ℒ \( (X_i^k ) \), the law of \( X_i^k \).
