Abstract

Suppose that X = {Xt, t ⩾ 0;ℙμ} is a supercritical superprocess in a locally compact separable metric space E. Let φ0 be a positive eigenfunction corresponding to the first eigenvalue λ0 of the generator of the mean semigroup of X. Then Mt:=e−λ0t〈ϕ0,Xt〉 is a positive martingale. Let M be the limit of Mt. It is known (see Liu et al. (2009)) that M is non-degenerate if and only if the L log L condition is satisfied. In this paper we are mainly interested in the case when the L log L condition is not satisfied. We prove that, under some conditions, there exist a positive function γt on [0, ∞) and a non-degenerate random variable W such that for any finite nonzero Borel measure μ on E, Mt:=e-λ0t〈φ0,Xt〉 We also give the almost sure limit of γt〈f, Xt〉 for a class of general test functions f.
