Infinity as Entrance Boundary

Abstract

In this chapter (this chapter is based on the work done by us in collaboration with Patrick Cattiaux, Amaury Lambert and Sylvie Méléard in the article Quasi-stationary distributions and diffusions models in population dynamics in Ann. Probab. 37:1926–1969, 2009), we study QSDs for one dimensional diffusions where we allow the drift to have a singularity at the origin and an entrance boundary at +∞. The main motivation for studying this situation comes from models in ecology and economics (see Examples 7.8.1 and 7.8.2 at the end of this chapter).
