General Branching Processes with Immigration
A general multi-type branching process where new individuals immigrate according to some point process is considered. An intrinsic submartingale is defined and a convergence result for processes counted with random characteristics is obtained. Some examples are given.

متن کاملPoisson representations of branching Markov and measure-valued branching processes
Representations of measure-valued processes in terms of countable systems of particles are constructed for models with spatially varying birth and death rates. Each particle has a location and a “level,” but unlike earlier constructions, the levels change with time. In fact, death of a particle occurs only when the level of the particle hits infinity. For each time t the joint distribution of l...
متن کاملGeneral branching processes in discrete time as random trees
The simple Galton–Watson process describes populations where individuals live one season and are then replaced by a random number of children. It can also be viewed as a way of generating random trees, each vertex being an individual of the family tree. This viewpoint has led to new insights and a revival of classical theory. We show how a similar reinterpretation can shed new light on the more...
متن کاملExtinction times in Multitype Markov Branching Processes
In this paper, a distributional approximation to the time to extinction in a subcritical continuous-time Markov branching process is derived. A limit theorem for this distribution is established and the error in the approximation is quantified. The accuracy of the approximation is illustrated in an epidemiological example. Since Markov branching processes serve as approximations to nonlinear ep...
متن کاملBranching Processes of General Petri Nets
We propose a new model of branching processes, suitable for describing the behavior of general Petri nets, without any finiteness or safeness assumption. In this framework, we define a new class of branching processes and unfoldings of a net N , which we call faithful. These coincide with the safe branching processes and unfoldings if N is safe, or weakly safe as in [Engelfriet 1991], but not i...
