Multi-type branching processes with time-dependent branching rates
Under mild non-degeneracy assumptions on branching rates in each generation, we provide a criterion for almost-sure extinction of a multi-type branching process with time-dependent branching rates. We also provide a criterion for the total number of particles (conditioned on survival and divided by the expectation of the resulting random variable) to approach an exponential random variable as t...
متن کاملSmaller population size at the MRCA time for stationary branching processes
Abstract. We present an elementary model of random size varying population given by a stationary continuous state branching process. For this model we compute the joint distribution of: the time to the most recent common ancestor, the size of the current population and the size of the population just before the most recent common ancestor (MRCA). In particular we show a natural mild bottleneck ...
متن کاملOn a Continuous-state Population-size-dependent Branching Process and Its Extinction
A continuous-state population-size-dependent branching process {Xt } is a modification of the Jiřina process. We prove that such a process arises as the limit of a sequence of suitably scaled population-size-dependent branching processes with discrete states. The extinction problem for the population Xt is discussed, and the limit distribution of Xt/t obtained when Xt tends to infinity.
متن کاملMaximum family size in branching processes with state
The number W n of oospring of the most proliic particle in the n-th generation of a simple branching process with state-dependent immigration is studied. Limit theorems for W n and EW n are proved. The results are obtained by combining the methods of 8] with known behavior of the population size in branching processes with state{dependent immigration.
متن کاملBranching Processes
Galton-Watson processes were introduced by Francis Galton in 1889 as a simple mathematical model for the propagation of family names. They were reinvented by Leo Szilard in the late 1930s as models for the proliferation of free neutrons in a nuclear fission reaction. Generalizations of the extinction probability formulas that we shall derive below played a role in the calculation of the critica...
