Poisson representations of branching Markov and measure-valued branching processes
Representations of measure-valued processes in terms of countable systems of particles are constructed for models with spatially varying birth and death rates. Each particle has a location and a “level,” but unlike earlier constructions, the levels change with time. In fact, death of a particle occurs only when the level of the particle hits infinity. For each time t the joint distribution of l...
متن کاملExtinction times in Multitype Markov Branching Processes
In this paper, a distributional approximation to the time to extinction in a subcritical continuous-time Markov branching process is derived. A limit theorem for this distribution is established and the error in the approximation is quantified. The accuracy of the approximation is illustrated in an epidemiological example. Since Markov branching processes serve as approximations to nonlinear ep...
متن کاملAbsorbing Markov and branching processes with instantaneous resurrection
A Markov branching process with instantaneous immigration from the zero state can be constructed so as to be honest and have the non-negative integers as state-space, but the construction requires the branching part to be explosive. We show that a realistic model can be constructed without this restriction if the state-space is restricted to the natural numbers. Moreover this construction is th...
متن کاملCritical Age Dependent Branching Markov Processes and Their Scaling Limits
This paper studies: (i) the long time behaviour of the empirical distribution of age and normalised position of an age dependent critical branching Markov process conditioned on non-extinction; and (ii) the super-process limit of a sequence of age dependent critical branching Brownian motions.
متن کاملStrategy Synthesis for Markov Decision Processes and Branching-Time Logics
We consider a class of finite -player games (Markov decision processes) where the winning objectives are specified in the branching-time temporal logic qPECTL (an extension of the qualitative PCTL ). We study decidability and complexity of existence of a winning strategy in these games. We identify a fragment of qPECTL called detPECTL for which the existence of a winning strategy is decidable i...
