Abstract
AbstractA continuous-state branching process with immigration having branching mechanism $\Psi$ and immigration mechanism $\Phi$ , a CBI $(\Psi,\Phi)$ process for short, may have either of two different asymptotic regimes, depending on whether $\int_{0}\frac{\Phi(u)}{|\Psi(u)|}\textrm{d} u<\infty$ or $\int_{0}\frac{\Phi(u)}{|\Psi(u)|}\textrm{d} u=\infty$ . When $\int_{0}\frac{\Phi(u)}{|\Psi(u)|}\textrm{d} u<\infty$ , the CBI process has either a limit distribution or a growth rate dictated by the branching dynamics. When $\scriptstyle\int_{0}\tfrac{\Phi(u)}{|\Psi(u)|}\textrm{d} u=\infty$ , immigration overwhelms branching dynamics. Asymptotics in the latter case are studied via a nonlinear time-dependent renormalization in law. Three regimes of weak convergence are exhibited. Processes with critical branching mechanisms subject to a regular variation assumption are studied. This article proves and extends results stated by M. Pinsky in ‘Limit theorems for continuous state branching processes with immigration’ (Bull. Amer. Math. Soc.78, 1972).
