An explicit and computable criterion for strong ergodicity of single-birth processes is presented. As an application, some sufficient conditions are obtained for strong ergodicity of an extended class of continuous-time branching processes and multi-dimensional Q-processes by comparison methods respectively. Consequently strong ergodicity of the Q-process corresponding to the finite-dimensional Schlögl model is proven.

An explicit, computable, and sufficient condition for exponential ergodicity of single-birth processes is presented. The corresponding criterion for birth–death processes is proved using a new method. As an application, some sufficient conditions are obtained for exponential ergodicity of an extended class of continuous-time branching processes and of multidimensional Q-processes, by comparison methods.

We provide a simple set of sufficient conditions for the weak convergence of discrete-time, discrete-state Galton-Watson branching processes with immigration to continuous-time, continuous-state branching processes with immigration.

Sufficient conditions for strong ergodicity of discrete-time non-homogeneous Markov chains have been given in several papers. Conditions have been given using the left eigenvectors ψn of Pn(ψ nPn = ψ n) and also using the limiting behavior of Pn. In this paper we consider the analogous results in the case of continuous-time Markov chains where one uses the intensity matrices Q(t) instead of P(s, t). A bound on the rate of convergence of certain strongly ergodic chains is also given.

This paper deals with continuous-time branching processes which allow a temporally-decreasing immigration whenever the population size is 0. In the critical case the asymptotic behaviour of the probability of non-extinction and of the first two moments is investigated and different types of limit theorems are also proved.

Under natural assumptions, a Feller type diffusion approximation is derived for critical, irreducible multi-type continuous state and continuous time branching processes with immigration. Namely, it is proved that a sequence of appropriately scaled random step functions formed from a critical, irreducible multi-type continuous state and continuous time branching process with immigration converges weakly towards a squared Bessel process supported by a ray determined by the Perron vector of a matrix related to the branching mechanism of the branching process in question.
