Almost sure,L_1-and L_2-growth behavior of supercritical multi-type continuous state and continuous time branching processes with immigration

Under a first order moment condition on the immigration mechanism, we show that an appropriately scaled supercritical and irreducible multi-type continuous state and continuous time branching process with immigration(CBI process) converges almost surely. If an x log(x) moment condition on the branching mechanism does not hold, then the limit is zero. If this x log(x) moment condition holds, then we prove L_1 convergence as well. The projection of the limit on any left non-Perron eigenvector of the branching mean matrix is vanishing.If, in addition, a suitable extra power moment condition on the branching mechanism holds, then we provide the correct scaling for the projection of a CBI process on certain left non-Perron eigenvectors of the branching mean matrix in order to have almost sure and L_1 limit. Moreover, under a second order moment condition on the branching and immigration mechanisms, we prove L_2 convergence of an appropriately scaled process and the above-mentioned projections as well. A representation of the limits is also provided under the same moment conditions.
