In $d=3$, we find a normalization $\\psi(x)=(1/(2\\pi^2) \\log (1/|x|))^{1/2}$ such that $(L_t^x-1/(2\\pi|x|))/\\psi(x)$ converges in distribution to standard normal as $x\\to 0$. In $d=2$, we show that $L_t^x-(1/\\pi)\\log (1/|x|)$ converges a.s. as $x\\to 0$. We also consider general initial conditions and get similar renormalization results. The behavior of the local time allows us to derive a second order term in the asymptotic behavior of a related semilinear elliptic equation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-11-17T08:05:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J68" ], "keywords": [ "local time", "super-brownian motion", "asymptotic behavior", "related semilinear elliptic equation", "general initial conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 49, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
