Stationary measures and the continuous-state branching process conditioned on extinction

We consider continuous-state branching processes (CB processes) which become extinct almost surely. First, we tackle the problem of describing the stationary measures on $(0,+\infty)$ for such CB processes. We give a representation of the stationary measure in terms of scale functions of related L\'{e}vy processes. Then we prove that the stationary measure can be obtained from the vague limit of the potential measure, and, in the critical case, can also be obtained from the vague limit of a normalized transition probability. Next, we prove some limit theorems for the CB process conditioned on extinction in a near future and on extinction at a fixed time. We obtain non-degenerate limit distributions which are of the size-biased type of the stationary measure in the critical case and of the Yaglom's distribution in the subcritical case. Finally we explore some further properties of the limit distributions.

Subcritical superprocesses conditioned on non-extinction

We consider a class of subcritical superprocesses $(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$ with general spatial motions and general branching mechanisms. We study the asymptotic behaviors of $\mathbf Q_{t,r}$, the distribution of $X_t$ conditioned on $X_{t+r}$ not being a null measure. We first give the existence of $\lim_{t\to \infty}\mathbf Q_{t,r}$ and $\lim_{r\to \infty}\mathbf Q_{t,r}$, and then show that an $L\log L$-type condition is equivalent to the existence of the double limits: $\lim_{r\to \infty} \lim_{t\to\infty}\mathbf Q_{t, r}$ and $\lim_{t\to \infty} \lim_{r\to\infty}\mathbf Q_{t, r}$. Finally, when the $L\log L$-type condition holds, we show that those double limits, and $\lim_{r,t\to \infty}\mathbf Q_{t,r}$, are the same.

Convergence rate for a class of supercritical superprocesses

Suppose $X=\{X_t, t\ge 0\}$ is a supercritical superprocess. Let $ϕ$ be the non-negative eigenfunction of the mean semigroup of $X$ corresponding to the principal eigenvalue $λ>0$. Then $M_t(ϕ)=e^{-λt}\langleϕ, X_t\rangle, t\geq 0,$ is a non-negative martingale with almost sure limit $M_\infty(ϕ)$. In this paper we study the rate at which $M_t(ϕ)-M_\infty(ϕ)$ converges to $0$ as $t\to \infty$ when the process may not have finite variance. Under some conditions on the mean semigroup, we provide sufficient and necessary conditions for the rate in the almost sure sense. Some results on the convergence rate in $L^p$ with $p\in(1, 2)$ are also obtained.

Quasi-stationary distributions for subcritical superprocesses

Suppose that $X$ is a subcritical superprocess. Under some asymptotic conditions on the mean semigroup of $X$, we prove the Yaglom limit of $X$ exists and identify all quasi-stationary distributions of $X$.

Coding multitype branching forests: application to the law of the total progeny of branching forest and to enumerations

By extending the breadth first search algorithm to any d-type critical or subcritical irreducible branching forest, we show that such forests may be encoded through d independent, integer valued, d-dimensional random walks. An application of this coding together with a multivariate extension of the Ballot Theorem which is proved here, allow us to give an explicit form of the law of the total progeny, jointly with the number of subtrees of each type, in terms of the offspring distribution of the branching process. We then apply these results to some enumeration formulas of multitype forests with given degrees and to a new proof of the Lagrange-Good inversion Theorem.
