Evolution of branching processes in a random environment

This review paper presents the known results on the asymptotics of the survival probability and limit theorems conditioned on survival of critical and subcritical branching processes in independent and identically distributed random environments. This is a natural generalization of the time-inhomogeneous branching processes. The key assumptions of the family of population models in question are nonoverlapping generations and discrete time. The reader should be aware of the fact that there are many very interesting papers covering other issues in the theory of branching processes in random environments which are not mentioned here.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF MULTITYPE CANONICAL MARKOV BRANCHING CHAINS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS

The investigation for branching processes has a long history by their strong physics background, but only a few authors have investigated the branching processes in random environments. First of all, the author introduces the concepts of the multitype canonical Markov branching chain in random environment (CMBCRE) and multitype Markov branching chain in random environment (MBCRE) and proved that CMBCRE must be MBCRE, and any MBCRE must be equivalent to another CMBCRE in distribution. The main results of this article are the construction of CMBCRE and some of its probability properties.

Second order limit theorems for the Markov branching process in random environments

In a Markov branching process with random environments, limiting fluctuations of the population size arise from the changing environment, which causes random variation of the ‘deterministic’ population prediction, and from the stochastic wobble around this ‘deterministic’ mean, which is apparent in the ordinary Markov branching process. If the random environment is generated by a suitable stationary process, the first variation typically swamps the second kind. In this paper, environmental processes are considered which, in contrast, lead to sampling and environmental fluctuation of comparable magnitude. The method makes little use either of stationarity or of the branching property, and is amenable to some generalization away from the Markov branching process.

Maximum likelihood estimator consistency for a ballistic random walk in a parametric random environment

We consider a one dimensional ballistic random walk evolving in an i.i.d. parametric random environment. We provide a maximum likelihood estimation procedure of the parameters based on a single observation of the path till the time it reaches a distant site, and prove that the estimator is consistent as the distant site tends to infinity. Our main tool consists in using the link between random walks and branching processes in random environments and explicitly characterising the limiting distribution of the process that arises. We also explore the numerical performance of our estimation procedure.

Almost sure convergence of continuous time branching processes

We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for the transience of the non-zero states in a non-homogeneous, continuous time Markov branching process. The result is obtained by passing from results about the discrete time skeleton of the continuous time chain to the continuous time chain itself. An alternative proof of a result for continuous time Markov branching processes in random environments is then given, showing that earlier moment conditions were not necessary.     

Stochastic equations and ergodicity for two-type continuous-state branching processes with immigration in Lévy random environments

This paper establishes a stochastic differential equation system with both positive and negative jumps and proves the existence and uniqueness of the strong solution and presents an equivalent condition for ergodicity of the solution.
