Abstract

An iterated perturbed random walk is a sequence of point processes defined by the birth times of individuals in subsequent generations of a general branching process provided that the birth times of the first generation individuals are given by a perturbed random walk. We prove counterparts of the classical renewal-theoretic results (the elementary renewal theorem, Blackwell’s theorem, and the key renewal theorem) for the number of jth-generation individuals with birth times $\leq t$, when $j,t\to\infty$ and $j(t)={\textrm{o}}\big(t^{2/3}\big)$. According to our terminology, such generations form a subset of the set of intermediate generations.
