Complete left tail asymptotic for branching processes in random environments

Recently, the complete left tail asymptotic for the density of the {\it martingale limit} of the classical Galton-Watson process has been derived. The derivation is based on the properties of a special function (whose inverse Fourier transform is the density) satisfying a Poincaré-type functional equation. However, the corresponding special function does not satisfy the Poincaré-type functional equation for the processes in random environments. This makes it impossible to apply the developed asymptotic methods. In this instance, even computing the special function and the density becomes extremely challenging. We propose a method that extracts the terms of the asymptotic series from another limit distribution {\it ratios of probabilities of rare events}. The generating functions for this limit distribution satisfy the generalized Schröder-type functional equations that greatly simplify the calculations. As in the classical case of constant environments, the obtained series converges everywhere. Possible interesting connections with exotic fractal measures that Robert Strichartz considers are also discussed.
