Let {Z(t)}t0 be an age-dependent branching process with immigration. For a general class of functions Φ(x), a necessary and sufficient condition is given for when E{Φ (Z(t))} <∞. This result is a direct generalization of a theorem proven for the branching process without immigration.

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.

Supercritical Branching Processes

It is shown for a supercritical branching process with immigration that if the log moment of the immigration distribution is infinite, then no sequence of positive constants {cn} exists such that {Xn/cn} converges in law to a proper limit distribution function F, except for the case F(0 +) = 1. Seneta's result [1] combined with the above-mentioned one imply that if 1 < m < ∞ then the finiteness of the log moment of the immigration distribution is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of some constants {cn} such that {Xn/cn} converges in law to a proper limit distribution function F, with F(0 +) < 1.

In [14] a necessary and sufficient condition was obtained for there to exist uniquely a Q-process with a specified invariant measure, under the assumption that Q is a stable, conservative, single-exit matrix. The purpose of this note is to demonstrate that, for an arbitrary stable and conservative q-matrix, the same condition suffices for the existence of a suitable Q-process, but that this process might not be unique. A range of examples is considered, including pure-birth processes, a birth process with catastrophes, birth-death processes and the Markov branching process with immigration.

It is shown for a supercritical branching process with immigration that if the log moment of the immigration distribution is infinite, then no sequence of positive constants {cn } exists such that {Xn/cn } converges in law to a proper limit distribution function F, except for the case F(0 +) = 1.

In the present investigation, we consider an unified class of functions of complex order. Necessary and sufficient condition for functions to be in this class is obtained. The results obtained in this paper generalizes the results obtained by Srivastava and Lashin [10], and Ravichandran et al. [4]. .

In [8] a necessary and sufficient condition was given for determining the equivalence of two asymptotic boundary paths for an analytic function w = f(p) on a Riemann surface F. In this paper we give a necessary and sufficient condition for determining the nonequivalence of two asymptotic boundary paths for f(z) analytic in |z| < R, 0 < R ≤ + ∞. We shall, also, illustrate some applications of the main result and examine a class of functions introduced by Valiron.

If Z(t) denotes the population size in a Bellman-Harris age-dependent branching process such that a non-denenerate random variable W, then it is known that E(W) = 1 and that ϕ (u) = E(e–uW) satisfies a well-known integral equation. In this situation Athreya [1] has recently found a NASC for E(W |log W| y) <∞, for γ > 0. This paper generalizes Athreya's results in two directions. Firstly a more general class of branching processes is considered; secondly conditions are found for E(W 1 + βL(W)) < ∞ for 0 β < 1, where L is one of a class of functions of slow variation.
