Harmonic continuous time branching moments
We show that the mean inverse populations of nondecreasing, square integrable, continuous-time branching processes decrease to zero like the inverse of their mean population if and only if the initial population k is greater than a first threshold m1 ≥ 1. If, furthermore, k is greater than a second threshold m2 ≥ m1, the normalized mean inverse population is at most 1/(k −m2). We express m1 and...
متن کاملHarmonic moments of non homogeneous branching processes
We study the harmonic moments of Galton-Watson processes, possibly non homogeneous, with positive values. Good estimates of these are needed to compute unbiased estimators for non canonical branching Markov processes, which occur, for instance, in the modeling of the polymerase chain reaction. By convexity, the ratio of the harmonic mean to the mean is at most 1. We prove that, for every square...
متن کاملBranching Continuous Time and the Semantics of Continuous Action
It is often useful to model the behavior of an autonomous intelligent creature in terms of continuous control and choice. For example, a robot who moves through space can be idealized as able to execute any continuous motion, subject to constraints on velocity and accelleration; in such a model, the robot can %hoose = at any instant to change his accelleration. We show how such models can be de...
متن کاملWeighted Moments Based Identification of Continuous-Time Systems
In this paper we present an algorithm for continuous-time model identification from sample data using the weighted power moments of the output signal of a linear, time-invariant system. While most of the latest methods used in identification utilize a discrete-time model, the moments method is an alternative approach to directly identify a continuous-time model from discrete-time data. The meth...
متن کاملAn Extended Class of Time-continuous Branching Processes
This paper is devoted to studying an extended class of time-continuous branching processes, motivated by the study of stochastic control theory and interacting particle systems. The uniqueness, extinction, recurrence and positive recurrence criteria for the processes are presented. The main new point in our proofs is the use of several different comparison methods. The resulting picture shows t...
