Abstract
We introduce the idea of controlling branching processes by means of another branching process, using the fractional thinning operator of Steutel and van Harn. This idea is then adapted to the model of alternating branching, where two Markov branching processes act alternately at random observation and treatment times. We study the extinction probability and limit theorems for reproduction by n cycles, as n → ∞.
