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

Abstract: We consider a birth-death process with the birth rates $ilambda$ and death rates $imu+i(i-1)heta$, where $i$ is the current state of the process. A positive competition rate $heta$ is assumed to be small. In the supercritical case when $lambda>mu$ this process can be viewed as a demographic model for a population with a high carrying capacity around $lambda-muoverheta$. The article reports in a self-contained manner on the asymptotic properties of the time to extinction for this logistic branching process as $hetao0$. All three reproduction regimes $lambda>mu$, $lambda<mu$, and $lambda=mu$ are studied.
