Laws of the iterated logarithm for iterated perturbed random walks

Let ${({\xi _{k}},{\eta _{k}})_{k\ge 1}}$ be independent identically distributed random vectors with arbitrarily dependent positive components and ${T_{k}}:={\xi _{1}}+\cdots +{\xi _{k-1}}+{\eta _{k}}$ for $k\in \mathbb{N}$. The random sequence ${({T_{k}})_{k\ge 1}}$ is called a (globally) perturbed random walk. Consider a general branching process generated by ${({T_{k}})_{k\ge 1}}$ and let ${Y_{j}}(t)$ denote the number of the jth generation individuals with birth times $\le t$. Assuming that $\mathrm{Var}\hspace{0.1667em}{\xi _{1}}\in (0,\infty )$ and allowing the distribution of ${\eta _{1}}$ to be arbitrary, a law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) is proved for ${Y_{j}}(t)$. In particular, an LIL for the counting process of ${({T_{k}})_{k\ge 1}}$ is obtained. The latter result was previously established in the article by Iksanov, Jedidi and Bouzeffour (2017) under the additional assumption that $\mathbb{E}{\eta _{1}^{a}}\lt \infty $ for some $a\gt 0$. In this paper, it is shown that the aforementioned additional assumption is not needed.

Abstract

Let ${({\xi _{k}},{\eta _{k}})_{k\ge 1}}$ be independent identically distributed random vectors with arbitrarily dependent positive components and ${T_{k}}:={\xi _{1}}+\cdots +{\xi _{k-1}}+{\eta _{k}}$ for $k\in \mathbb{N}$. The random sequence ${({T_{k}})_{k\ge 1}}$ is called a (globally) perturbed random walk. Consider a general branching process generated by ${({T_{k}})_{k\ge 1}}$ and let ${Y_{j}}(t)$ denote the number of the jth generation individuals with birth times $\le t$. Assuming that $\mathrm{Var}\hspace{0.1667em}{\xi _{1}}\in (0,\infty )$ and allowing the distribution of ${\eta _{1}}$ to be arbitrary, a law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) is proved for ${Y_{j}}(t)$. In particular, an LIL for the counting process of ${({T_{k}})_{k\ge 1}}$ is obtained. The latter result was previously established in the article by Iksanov, Jedidi and Bouzeffour (2017) under the additional assumption that $\mathbb{E}{\eta _{1}^{a}}\lt \infty $ for some $a\gt 0$. In this paper, it is shown that the aforementioned additional assumption is not needed.
