Limit theorems for the population size of a birth and death process allowing catastrophes
The linear birth and death process with catastrophes is formulated as a right continuous random walk on the non-negative integers which evolves in continuous time with an instantaneous jump rate proportional t...

The supercritical birth, death and catastrophe process: Limit theorems on the set of non-extinction
The skip-free property of the super-critical linear birth and death process with a linear catastrophe component is exploited to obtain an almost sure convergence theorem for the population size without any ext...

Legumes at Loggerheads: Modelling Competition Between Two Strains of Sub-Clover
In essence this paper is a précis of a substantial investigation of deterministic modelling of two strains of sub-clover which interact competitively at the time they set their seed.

On family trees and subtrees of simple branching processes
We study the probability of occurrence of certain subtrees of the family tree of a Galton Watson branching process.

On the Recognition and Structure of Probability Generating Functions
If $$ M\left( s \right) = 1 - {e^{ - \pi (s)}} $$ is a probability generating function, the coefficients π j in the MacLaurin e...

Asymptotic Properties of the Markov Branching Process with Immigration
We consider the Markov branching process with immigration allowing the possibility of infinite numbers of offspring and/or immigrants. Our focus is on the construction and uniqueness of the minimal transition ...

Self-Decomposable Laws from Continuous Branching Processes
The martingale limit law of the supercritical continuous time and state branching process either is compound Poisson or self-decomposable. This paper explores some general aspects of the latter case. A fundame...
