The Extinction of a Branching Process in a Varying or Random Environment

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 100))

Abstract

A sufficient condition and a necessary condition for extinction of BPVE are given. Then a splitting statistical regularity of individual in every generation of BPRE is given. In the last example, the speed of extinction of BPRE is contrasted with that of BPVE.
