Instead of considering the convergence of quasistationary distributions \(q^ T_ k\) of a birth-death process (N(t)) as in their previous paper in Stochastic Processes Appl. 18, 301-312 (1984; Zbl 0558.60066), the authors show that the sequence \((q^ T_ k)\) increases stochastically with k. The maximum chain \(M(t)=\max_{0\leq t'\leq t}N(t')\) is studied for the proof.
