Abstract:
The maximum M of a critical Bienaymé-Galton-Watson process
conditioned on the total progeny N is studied. Imbedding of the process in
a random walk is used. A limit theorem for the distribution of M as N → ∞
is proved. The result is trasferred to the non-critical processes. A corollary
for the maximal strata of a random rooted labeled tree is obtained.
