The weak ladder-height PGF identity #
The centered one-step Laplace expansion from SurvivalExpansion supplies the normalized
offspring PGF gap at exponential arguments, retaining the index-two infinite-variance
case. The offspring-tail coefficients satisfy a one-step difference identity. Summing
it against powers gives (1-s) φ(s) = 1-g(s), with the atom at zero retained.
