Continuous-state Branching Processes and Self-similarity

چکیده
In this paper we study the α-stable continuous-state branching processes (for α ∈ (1, 2]) and the α-stable continuous-state branching processes conditioned never to become extinct in the light of positive self-similarity. Understanding the interaction of the Lamperti transformation for continuous-state branching processes and the Lamperti transformation for positive, self-similar Markov processes gives access to a number of explicit results concerning the paths of α-stable continuous-state branching processes and α-stable continuous-state branching processes conditioned never to become extinct.

2 00 7 On continuous state branching processes : conditioning and self - similarity . December 10 , 2008
In this paper, for α ∈ (1, 2], we show that the α-stable continuous-state branching processes and the associated process conditioned never to become extinct are positive self-similar Markov processes. Understanding the interaction of the Lamperti transformation for continuous state branching processes and the Lamperti transformation for positive self-similar Markov processes permits access to a...
متن کاملLimit theorems for Smoluchowski dynamics associated with critical continuous-state branching processes
We investigate the well-posedness and asymptotic self-similarity of solutions to a generalized Smoluchowski coagulation equation recently introduced by Bertoin and Le Gall in the context of continuousstate branching theory. In particular, this equation governs the evolution of the Lévy measure of a critical continuous-state branching process which becomes extinct (i.e., is absorbed at zero) alm...
متن کاملtype SDE approach to positive self - Similar Markov processes ∗
We present a new approach to positive self-similar Markov processes (pssMps) by reformulating Lamperti’s transformation via jump type SDEs. As applications, we give direct constructions of pssMps (re)started continuously at zero if the Lamperti transformed Lévy process is spectrally negative. Our paper can be seen as a continuation of similar studies for continuous state branching processes.
متن کاملDeterministic versus Stochastic Aspects of Superexponential Population Growth Models
Deterministic population growth models with power-law rates can exhibit a large variety of growth behaviors, ranging from algebraic, exponential to hyperexponential (finite time explosion). In this setup, selfsimilarity considerations play a key role, together with two time substitutions. Two stochastic versions of such models are investigated, showing a much richer variety of behaviors. One is...
متن کاملEffcient Transition Probability Computation for Continuous-Time Branching Processes via Compressed Sensing
Branching processes are a class of continuous-time Markov chains (CTMCs) with ubiquitous applications. A general difficulty in statistical inference under partially observed CTMC models arises in computing transition probabilities when the discrete state space is large or uncountable. Classical methods such as matrix exponentiation are infeasible for large or countably infinite state spaces, an...
