Large Deviations for the Right-Most Position of a Last Progeny Modified Branching Random Walk

In this work, we consider a modification of the usual Branching Random Walk (BRW), where we give certain independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) displacements to all the particles at the $n$-th generation, which may be different from the driving increment distribution. This model was first introduced by Bandyopadhyay and Ghosh (2021) and they termed it as Last Progeny Modified Branching Random Walk (LPM-BRW). Under very minimal assumptions, we derive the large deviation principle (LDP) for the right-most position of a particle in generation $n$. As a byproduct, we also complete the LDP for the classical model, which complements the earlier work by Gantert and Höfelsauer (2018).
