Continuous Time Mixed State Branching Processes and Stochastic Equations

Abstract

A continuous time and mixed state branching process is constructed by a scaling limit theorem of two-type Galton-Watson processes. The process can also be obtained by the pathwise unique solution to a stochastic equation system. From the stochastic equation system we derive the distribution of local jumps and give the exponential ergodicity in Wasserstein-type distances of the transition semigroup. Meanwhile, we study immigration structures associated with the process and prove the existence of the stationary distribution of the process with immigration.
