Abstract
For a supercritical branching process (Zn) in a stationary and ergodic environment ξ, we study the rate of convergence of the normalized population Wn=Zn/E[Zn|ξ] to its limit Wâ: we show a central limit theorem for WââWn with suitable normalization and derive a Berry-Esseen bound for the rate of convergence in the central limit theorem when the environment is independent and identically distributed. Similar results are also shown for Wn+kâWn for each fixed kâNâ.
