Limit theorems for Smoluchowski dynamics associated with critical continuous-state branching processes

چکیده
We investigate the well-posedness and asymptotic self-similarity of solutions to a generalized Smoluchowski coagulation equation recently introduced by Bertoin and Le Gall in the context of continuousstate branching theory. In particular, this equation governs the evolution of the Lévy measure of a critical continuous-state branching process which becomes extinct (i.e., is absorbed at zero) almost surely. We show that a nondegenerate scaling limit of the Lévy measure (and the process) exists if and only if the branching mechanism is regularly varying at 0. When the branching mechanism is regularly varying, we characterize nondegenerate scaling limits of arbitrary finite-measure solutions in terms of generalized Mittag-Leffler series.

Stochastic Flows Associated to Coalescent Processes Iii: Limit Theorems
We prove several limit theorems that relate coalescent processes to continuous-state branching processes. Some of these theorems are stated in terms of the so-called generalized Fleming-Viot processes, which describe the evolution of a population with fixed size, and are duals to the coalescents with multiple collisions studied by Pitman and others. We first discuss asymptotics when the initial...

متن کاملHeight process for super-critical continuous state branching process
We define the height process for super-critical continuous state branching processes with quadratic branching mechanism. It appears as a projective limit of Brownian motions with positive drift reflected at 0 and a > 0 as a goes to infinity. Then we extend the pruning procedure of branching processes to the super-critical case. This give a complete duality picture between pruning and size propo...

Random trees. Random trees. The main goal of this work is to investigate the genealogical structure of continuous-state branching processes in connection with limit theorems for discrete Galton-Watson trees. Applications are also given to the construction and various properties of spatial branching processes including a general class of superprocesses. Our starting point is the recent work of L...
