Nonexplosion of a class of semilinear equations via branching particle representations
Keyword(s):
We consider a branching particle system where an individual particle gives birth to a random number of offspring at the place where it dies. The probability distribution of the number of offspring is given bypk,k= 2, 3, …. The corresponding branching process is related to the semilinear partial differential equationforx∈ ℝd, whereAis the infinitesimal generator of a multiplicative semigroup and thepks,k= 2, 3, …, are nonnegative functions such thatWe obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of global positive solutions to semilinear equations of this form. Our results extend previous work by Nagasawa and Sirao (1969) and others.
