A population process is considered where particles reproduce according to an age-dependent branching process, and are subjected to disasters which occur at the epochs of an independent renewal process. Each particle alive at the time of a disaster, survives it with probability p and the survival of any particle is assumed independent of the survival of any other particle. The asymptotic behavior of the mean of the process is determined and as a consequence, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for extinction.

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the multivariate record values by using the Reduced Ordering Principle (R-ordering). Necessary and sufficient conditions for weak convergence of the multivariate record values based on sup-norm are determined. Some illustrative examples are given.

For a subcritical Bellman-Harris process for which the Malthusian parameter α exists and the mean function M(t)∼ aeat as t → ∞, a necessary and sufficient condition for e–at (1 –F(s, t)) to have a non-zero limit is known. The corresponding condition is given for the generalized branching process.

Necessary And Sufficient

Let n points be distributed independently within a k-dimensional unit cube according to density f. At each point, construct a k-dimensional sphere of content an. Let V denote the vacancy, or ‘volume' not covered by the spheres. We derive asymptotic formulae for the mean and variance of V, as n → ∞and an → 0. The formulae separate naturally into three cases, corresponding to nan → 0, nan → a (0 < a <∞) and nan →∞, respectively. We apply the formulae to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for V/E(V) → 1 in L2.

In this paper the L 2-convergence of a superadditive bisexual Galton–Watson branching process is studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence of the suitably normed process are given. In the final section, a result about one of the most important bisexual models is proved.

Necessary And Sufficient

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of Markov systems and especially non-homogeneous Markov systems. It is found that the limiting structure and the relative limiting structure exist under certain conditions. The problem of weak ergodicity in the above non-homogeneous systems is studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions are provided for weak ergodicity. Finally, we discuss the application of the present results in manpower systems.

We consider the uniqueness and extinction properties of the interacting branching collision process (IBCP), which consists of two strongly interacting components: an ordinary Markov branching process and a collision branching process. We establish that there is a unique IBCP, and derive necessary and sufficient conditions for it to be nonexplosive that are easily checked. Explicit expressions are obtained for the extinction probabilities for both regular and irregular cases. The associated expected hitting times are also considered. Examples are provided to illustrate our results.

AbstractLet A be a (k + 1) × (k + 1) nonzero matrix. For polynomials p ∈ Pn, set and . Let E ⊂ C be a compact set that does not separate the plane and f be a function continuous on E and analytic in the interior of E. Set and . Our goal is to study approximation to f on E by polynomials from Bn(A). We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on the matrix A for the convergence En(A,f) → 0 to take place. These results depend on whether zero lies inside, on the boundary or outside E and yield generalizations of theorems of Clunie, Hasson and Saff for approximation by polynomials that omit a power of z. Let be such that . We also study the asymptotic behavior of the zeros of and the asymptotic relation between En(f) and En(A,f).
