This paper deals with the Foster–Pakes model for Galton–Watson branching processes allowing immigration whenever the number of particles is 0. In the critical case we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the probability of non-extinction, of the expectation and of the variance, and obtain different types of limit theorems depending on the temporally-decreasing sizes of the immigrants.

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.

We investigate critical Bellman-Harris processes which allow immigration of new particles whenever the population size is 0. Under some special conditions on the immigration component the asymptotic behaviour of the probability of extinction is obtained and limit theorems are also proved.

We consider critical Bellman-Harris processes which admit an immigration component only in the state 0. The asymptotic behaviour of the probability of extinction and of the first two moments is investigated and a limit theorem is also proved.

AbstractWe prove some limit theorems for contiunous time and state branching processes. The non-degenerate limit laws are obtained in critical and non-critical cases by conditioning or introducing immigration processes. The limit laws in non-critical cases are characterized in terms of the cononical measure of the cumulant semigroup. The proofs are based on estimates of the cumulant semigroup derived from the forward and backward equations, which are easier than the proffs in the classical setting.

The number Yn of offspring of the most prolific individual in the nth generation of a Bienaymé–Galton–Watson process is studied. The asymptotic behaviour of Yn as n → ∞ may be viewed as an extreme value problem for i.i.d. random variables with random sample size. Limit theorems for both Yn and EYn provided that the offspring mean is finite are obtained using some convergence results for branching processes as well as a transfer limit lemma for maxima. Subcritical, critical and supercritical branching processes are considered separately.

Consider a population of two or more different types of cells that at the end of life create two new cells through cell division. We model the population dynamics using a multitype branching stochastic processes. Under consideration are processes of Bieneme-Galton-Watson and of Bellman-Harris for the Markovian case.   drawn Conclusions about the expected number of particles of each type after a random time are drawn. The proposed models could be applicable not only for populations of a unicellular organisms, but also for sets of objects which operate a certain period of time and then split into two new objects or change their type.
