%0 Journal Article %T Survival probability of the branching random walk killed below a linear boundary %A Jean B¨¦rard %A Jean-Baptiste Gou¨¦r¨¦ %J Mathematics %D 2009 %I arXiv %X We give an alternative proof of a result by N. Gantert, Y. Hu and Z. Shi on the asymptotic behavior of the survival probability of the branching random walk killed below a linear boundary, in the special case of deterministic binary branching and bounded random walk steps. Connections with the Brunet-Derrida theory of stochastic fronts are discussed. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0911.3755v2
