Branching processes (Galton-Watson, birth-and-death, etc.) (60J80)

Abstract: A properly scaled critical Galton-Watson process converges to a continuous state critical branching process $xi(cdot)$ as the number of initial individuals tends to infinity. We extend this classical result by allowing for overlapping generations and considering a wide class of population counts. The main result of the paper establishes a convergence of the finite dimensional distributions for a scaled vector of multiple population counts. The set of the limiting distributions is conveniently represented in terms of integrals $(in{t}_0^{y}xi(y-u)d{u}^{g}amma,yge0)$ with a pertinent $gammage0$.
