The skeleton decomposition for the leaf-height marks #
The tree-law input of Lemma lem:S_lh (source lines 3066–3114, inventory P23) for the marks
G_k(T) = 1{λ_∅(T) ≥ k}. Under P_k = P(· | λ_∅(𝒯) ≥ k) put C_k = Z_0 + ⋯ + Z_{k-1}
(skelSize), L_k = Z_k, and let 𝒯^{(1)}, …, 𝒯^{(L_k)} be the fringe subtrees rooted at
generation k (gen k). The law lhSkeleton μ k of (𝒯, C_k, (𝒯^{(i)})_{i ≤ L_k}) under P_k
is a decomposition in the sense of Assumption (S) (Skeleton, Setup.Marks):
lhSkeleton_skeleton: its first marginal isP_k; conditionally on(C_k, L_k)the trees𝒯^{(i)}are independentμ-Bienaymé trees (frombienayme_trunc_mem_gen_eq); and|𝒯| = C_k + ∑_{i ≤ L_k} |𝒯^{(i)}|;lintegral_lhSkeleton_le:E_k[C_k + L_k] ≤ C k(κ = 1,k ≥ 1) and≤ C κ^k(κ ≥ 2).
The remaining step of Lemma lem:S_lh (Lemma lem:critM, which needs the regular variation of
(a_n), and Corollary cor:SM) is not proved here.
{λ_∅ ≥ k, C_k = c} is determined by the truncation at height k.
Assumption (S) decomposition for G_k = 1{λ_∅ ≥ k} (source lines 3066–3083): for a
critical μ with μ_1 ≠ 1 and every k, lhSkeleton μ k is a decomposition
(𝒯, C_k, 𝒯^{(1)}, …, 𝒯^{(L_k)}) as in Assumption (S).
E_k[C_k + L_k] for the skeleton decomposition (source lines 3108–3114): there is
C > 0 with E_k[C_k + L_k] ≤ C k for k ≥ 1 if κ = 1, and ≤ C κ^k if κ ≥ 2.
The tree-law input of Lemma lem:S_lh, combined: for every k a decomposition as in
Assumption (S) for G_k = 1{λ_∅ ≥ k} exists, with E_k[C_k + L_k] ≤ C k (κ = 1, k ≥ 1)
or ≤ C κ^k (κ ≥ 2) for one constant C.
