AbstractA critical branching process with immigration which evolves in a random environment is considered. Assuming that immigration is not allowed when there are no individuals in the population, we investigate the tail distribution of the so-called life period of the process, i.e. the length of the time interval between the moment when the process is initiated by a positive number of particles and the moment when there are no individuals in the population for the first time.

The homogeneous branching process with migration and continuous time is considered. We investigated the distribution of the period-life τ, i.e., the length of the time interval between the moment when the process is initiated by a positive number of particles and the moment when there are no individuals in the population for the first time. The probability generating function of the random process, which describes the behavior of the process within the period-life, was obtained. The boundary theorem for the period-life of the subcritical or critical branching process with migration was found.

Abstract We consider a multitype critical branching process Zn, n = 0, 1,…, in an i.i.d. random environment. Let Zm,n be the number of particles in this process at time m having descendants at time n. A limit theorem is proved for the logarithm of Znt,n at moments nt,0 ≤ t ≤ 1, conditioned on the survival of the process Zn up to moment n when n → ∞.

Critical Branching Process

The conditional least-squares estimators of the variances are studied for a critical branching process with immigration that allows the offspring distributions to have infinite fourth moments. We derive different forms of limiting distributions for these estimators when the offspring distributions have regularly varying tails with index α. In particular, in the case in which 2 < α < 8/3, the normalizing factor of the estimator for the offspring variance is smaller than √n, which is different from that of Winnicki (1991).

AbstractThe paper is concerned with subcritical branching process in random environment. It is assumed that the moment-generating function of steps of the associated random walk is equal to 1 for some positive value of the argument. Functional limit theorems for sizes of various generations and passage times to various levels are put forward.

Asymptotic expansions are obtained for the distribution function of a studentized estimator of the offspring mean sequence in an array branching process with immigration. The expansion result is shown to hold in a test function topology. As an application of this result, it is shown that the bootstrapping distribution of the estimator of the offspring mean in a sub-critical branching process with immigration also admits the same expansion (in probability). From these considerations, it is concluded that the bootstrapping distribution provides a better approximation asymptotically than the normal distribution.

Branching Process With Immigration

Abstract We consider a strongly supercritical branching process in random environment with immigration stopped at a distant time 𝑛. The offspring reproduction law in each generation is assumed to be geometric. The process is considered under the condition of its extinction after time 𝑛. Two limit theorems for this process are proved: the first one is for the time interval from 0 till 𝑛, and the second one is for the time interval from 𝑛 till + ∞ +\infty .

Abstract We study the asymptotic behavior of the survival probability of a multi-type branching process in a random environment. In the one-dimensional situation, the class of processes considered corresponds to the strongly subcritical case. We also prove a conditional limit theorem describing the distribution of the number of particles in the process given its survival for a long time.

Critical Branching Process

Abstract A critical branching process {Zk, k = 0, 1, 2, ...} in a random environment is considered. A conditional functional limit theorem for the properly scaled process {log Zpu, 0 ≤ u < ∞} is established under the assumptions that Zn > 0 and p ≪ n. It is shown that the limiting process is a Lévy process conditioned to stay nonnegative. The proof of this result is based on a limit theorem describing the distribution of the initial part of the trajectories of a driftless random walk conditioned to stay nonnegative.
