A Superadditive Bisexual Galton-Watson Branching Process is considered and the total number of mating units, females and males, until the n-th generation, are studied. In particular some results about the stochastic monotony, probability generating functions and moments are obtained. Finally, the limit behaviour of those variables suitably normed is investigated.
In this paper, we consider a birth–death process with generator and reversible invariant probabilityπ. Given an increasing function ρ and the associated Lipschitz norm ‖⋅‖Lip(ρ), we find an explicit formula for . As a typical application, with spectral theory, we revisit one variational formula of M. F. Chen for the spectral gap of inL2(π). Moreover, by Lyons–Zheng’s forward-backward martingale decomposition theorem, we get convex concentration inequalities for additive functionals of birth–death...
Let X be the branching particle diffusion corresponding to the operator Lu+β(u2−u) on D⊆ℝd (where β≥0 and β≢0). Let λc denote the generalized principal eigenvalue for the operator L+β on D and assume that it is finite. When λc>0 and L+β−λc satisfies certain spectral theoretical conditions, we prove that the random measure exp{−λct}Xt converges almost surely in the vague topology as t tends to infinity. This result is motivated by a cluster of articles due to Asmussen and Hering dating from...
General stochastic equations with jumps are studied. We provide criteria for the uniqueness and existence of strong solutions under non-Lipschitz conditions of Yamada–Watanabe type. The results are applied to stochastic equations driven by spectrally positive Lévy processes.
We offer a probabilistic treatment of the classical problem of existence, uniqueness and asymptotics of monotone solutions to the travelling wave equation associated to the parabolic semi-group equation of a super-Brownian motion with a general branching mechanism. Whilst we are strongly guided by the reasoning in Kyprianou (Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré Probab. Stat.40 (2004) 53–72) for branching Brownian motion, the current paper offers a number of new insights. Our analysis incorporates the role...
