Some necessary and sufficient conditions are found for the existence of a proper non-degenerate limiting distribution for a Bellman-Harris age-dependent branching process with a compound renewal immigration component. A number of these results are applicable to the batch arrival GI/G/∞ queueing process. Some aspects of the situation when there is no such limiting distribution are considered. The situation when the immigration component is a nonhomogeneous compound Poisson process is briefly considered.

It is known that Bartoszyński’s model for the growth of rabies virus in an infected host is a continuous branching process. We show by explicit construction that any such process is a randomly time-transformed compound Poisson process having a negative linear drift. This connection is exploited to obtain limit theorems for the population size and for the jump times in the rabies model. Some of these results are obtained in a more general context wherein the compound Poisson process is replaced by a subordinator.

The authors study a single-server queueing system with bulk arrivals and batch service in accordance to the general quorum discipline: a batch taken for service is not less thanrand not greater thanR(≥r). The server takes vacations each time the queue level falls belowr(≥1)in accordance with the multiple vacation discipline. The input to the system is assumed to be a compound Poisson process. The analysis of the system is based on the theory of first excess processes developed by the first author. A preliminary analysis of such processes enabled the authors to obtain all major characteristics for the queueing process in an analytically tractable form. Some examples and applications are given.

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.

International audience Feller diffusion is a continuous branching process. The branching property tells us that for t > 0 fixed, when indexed by the initial condition, it is a subordinator (i. e. a positive–valued Lévy process), which is fact is a compound Poisson process. The number of points of this Poisson process can be interpreted as the number of individuals whose progeny survives during a number of generations of the order of t × N, where N denotes the size of the population, in the limit N ―>µ. This fact follows from recent results of Bertoin, Fontbona, Martinez [1]. We compare them with older results of de O’Connell [7] and [8]. We believe that this comparison is useful for better understanding these results. There is no new result in this presentation. La diffusion de Feller est un processus de branchement continu. La propriété de branchement nous dit que à t > 0 fixé, indexé par la condition initiale, ce processus est un subordinateur (processus de Lévy à valeurs positives), qui est en fait un processus de Poisson composé. Le nombre de points de ce processus de Poisson s’interprète comme le nombre d’individus dont la descendance survit au cours d’un nombre de générations de l’ordre de t × N, où N désigne la taille de la population, dans la limite N --> µ. Ce fait découle de résultats récents de Bertoin, Fontbona, Martinez [1]. Nous le rapprochons de résultats plus anciens de O’Connell [7] et [8]. Ce rapprochement nous semble aider à mieux comprendre ces résultats. Cet article ne contient pas de résultat nouveau.
