Multi-type branching processes with time-dependent branching rates
Under mild non-degeneracy assumptions on branching rates in each generation, we provide a criterion for almost-sure extinction of a multi-type branching process with time-dependent branching rates. We also provide a criterion for the total number of particles (conditioned on survival and divided by the expectation of the resulting random variable) to approach an exponential random variable as t...
متن کاملCalculations for multi-type age-dependent binary branching processes.
This article provides a method for calculating the joint probability density for the topology and the node times of a tree which has been produced by an multi-type age-dependent binary branching process and then sampled at a given time. These processes are a generalization, in two ways, of the constant rate birth-death process. There are a finite number of types of particle instead of a single ...
متن کاملContinuity for Multi - Type Branching Processes Withvarying
Conditions are derived for the components of the normed limit of a multi-type branching process with varying environments, to be continuous on (0; 1). The main tool is an inequality for the concentration function of sums of independent random variables, due originally to Petrov. Using this, we show that if there is a discontinuity present, then a particular linear combination of the population ...
متن کاملLarge Deviations for Supercritical Multi-type Branching Processes
Large deviation results are obtained for the normed limit of a supercritical multi-type branching process. Starting from a single individual of type i, let L[i] be the normed limit of the branching process, and let Z k [i] be the minimum possible population size at generation k. If Z k [i] is bounded in k (bounded minimum growth) then we show that P(L[i] ≤ x) = P(L[i] = 0) + xF ∗[i](x) + o(x) a...
متن کاملBranching Processes
Galton-Watson processes were introduced by Francis Galton in 1889 as a simple mathematical model for the propagation of family names. They were reinvented by Leo Szilard in the late 1930s as models for the proliferation of free neutrons in a nuclear fission reaction. Generalizations of the extinction probability formulas that we shall derive below played a role in the calculation of the critica...
