Size-conditioned Bienaymé trees and admissible sizes #
Source lines 699–700: 𝒯^n is a μ-Bienaymé tree conditioned to have n vertices, for the
admissible sizes n, i.e. those with 𝐏(|𝒯| = n) > 0. We prove:
conditioned_isProbabilityMeasure: at an admissible size the conditioned law is a probability measure (for every offspring law), and it is the zero measure otherwise;conditioned_apply_singleton:𝐏(𝒯^n = T) = 𝐏_μ(T) / 𝐏_μ(|𝒯| = n)if|T| = n, else0;infinite_setOf_admissible,nonempty_setOf_admissible: for criticalμwithμ_1 ≠ 1, the admissible sizes form an infinite set containing1(sizesm j + 1are admissible for anyj ≥ 2withμ_j > 0);- the filter
admissibleAtTop μof large admissible sizes, which is proper for criticalμwithμ_1 ≠ 1(admissibleAtTop_neBot), and along which the conditioned laws are eventually probability measures.
No aperiodicity is assumed: periodic offspring laws have admissible sizes in a lattice.
A size is admissible iff some tree of that size has positive weight.
The conditioned laws #
At an admissible size, the conditioned law is a probability measure (for every offspring
law; criticality is not needed since bienayme μ is finite).
At an inadmissible size, the conditioned "law" is the zero measure.
𝐏(𝒯^n = T) = 0 for a tree T whose size is not n.
The conditioned tree has n vertices almost surely.
Admissible sizes #
Size 1 (the single-vertex tree) is admissible when μ_0 ≠ 0.
For a critical μ with μ_1 ≠ 1, there are infinitely many admissible sizes.
The set of admissible sizes is nonempty (it contains 1).
The filter "n → ∞ along admissible sizes".
Equations
Instances For
For a critical μ with μ_1 ≠ 1, the filter of admissible sizes is proper, so limits
along it are meaningful.
Subtype-indexed form: the conditioned law at an admissible size is a probability measure.
