Abstract

We develop a simple and intuitive identity for calculating expectations of weighted $k$-fold sums over particles in branching processes, generalising the well-known many-to-one lemma.

On développe une identité simple et intuitive pour calculer l’espérance des sommations $k$-plier sur particules dans les processus de branchement, la généralisation du lemme bien connu ‘many-to-one’.
