Abstract

We study the asymptotic behaviour of the probability of non-extinction of a critical multi-type Galton–Watson process in i.i.d. random environments by using limit theorems for products of positive random matrices. Under suitable assumptions, the survival probability is proportional to $1/\sqrt{n}$.
