Tóm tắt

In this paper, we consider a large class of super-Brownian motions in $${\mathbb {R}}$$ with spatially dependent branching mechanisms. We establish the almost sure growth rate of the mass located outside a time-dependent interval $$(-\delta t,\delta t)$$ for $$\delta >0$$ . The growth rate is given in terms of the principal eigenvalue $$\lambda _{1}$$ of the Schrödinger-type operator associated with the branching mechanism. From this result, we see the existence of phase transition for the growth order at $$\delta =\sqrt{\lambda _{1}/2}$$ . We further show that the super-Brownian motion shifted by $$\sqrt{\lambda _{1}/2}\,t$$ converges in distribution to a random measure with random density mixed by a martingale limit.
