Galton-Watson process. (Proceso de Galton-Watson.)
We encode the genealogy of a continuous-state branching process associated with a branching mechanism – or in short – using a stochastic flow of partitions. This encoding holds for all branching mechanisms and appears as a very tractable object to deal with asymptotic behaviours and convergences. In particular we study the so-called Eve property – the existence of an ancestor from which the entire population descends asymptotically – and give a necessary and sufficient condition on the for...
