Limit theorems for supercritical age-dependent branching processes with neutral immigration

چکیده

We consider a branching process with Poissonian immigration where individuals have inheritable types. At rate θ, new individuals singly enter the total population and start a new population which evolves like a supercritical, homogeneous, binary Crump-Mode-Jagers process: individuals have i.i.d. lifetimes durations (non necessarily exponential) during which they give birth independently at constant rate b. First, using spine decomposition, we relax previously known assumptions required for a.s. convergence of total population size. Then, we consider three models of structured populations: either all immigrants have a different type, or types are drawn in a discrete spectrum or in a continuous spectrum. In each model, the vector (P1, P2, . . . ) of relative abundances of surviving families converges a.s. In the first model, the limit is the GEM distribution with parameter θ/b.

Limit Theorems for Supercritical Markov Branching Processes with Non-homogeneous Poisson Immigration

This paper deals with Markov branching processes allowing immigration at random time points described by a non-homogeneous Poisson process. This class of processes generalizes a classical model proposed by Sevastyanov, which included a time-homogeneous Poisson immigration. The proposed model finds applications in cell kinetics studies. Limit theorems are obtained in the supercritical case. Some...

Maximum 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.

Limit Theorems for Subcritical Age-dependent Branching Processes with Two Types of Immigration

For the classical subcritical age-dependent branching process the effect of the following two-type immigration pattern is studied. At a sequence of renewal epochs a random number of immigrants enters the population. Each subpopulation stemming from one of these immigrants or one of the ancestors is revived by new immigrants and their offspring whenever it dies out, possibly after an additional ...

Order Statistics Assosiated with Family Size in Branching Processes Allowing Immigration

We study the kth largest value, M (k) n , among the oospring of particles in the nth generation of a branching process with immigration. In particular, M (1) n gives the oospring of the most proliic particle in that generation. Limit theorems for M (k) n and EM (k) n are proved. The results are obtained by combining the extreme value theory methods and known results for the behavior of the popu...
