Long edges in Galton-Watson trees

Sergey Bocharov, Simon C. Harris

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We establish a number of results concerning the limiting behaviour of the longest edges in the genealogical tree generated by a continuous-time Galton-Watson process. Separately, we consider the large-time behaviour of the longest pendant edges, the longest (strictly) interior edges, and the longest of all the edges. These results extend the special case of long pendant edges of birth-death processes established in Bocharov et al. (2023).
