We provide a central limit theorem for additive functionals of BMC under $L^2$-ergodic conditions with three different regimes. This completes the pointwise approach developed in a previous work. As application, we study the elementary case of symmetric bifurcating autoregressive process, which justify the non-trivial hypothesis considered on the kernel transition of the BMC. We illustrate in this example the phase transition observed in the fluctuations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-06-14T19:04:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J05", "60F05", "60J80" ], "keywords": [ "central limit theorem", "bifurcating markov chains", "ergodic conditions", "full binary tree representing", "phase transition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 39, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
