Abstract: The boundary behavior of continuous-state branching processes with quadratic competition is studied in whole generality. We first observe that despite competition, explosion can occur for certain branching mechanisms. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for $infty$ to be accessible in terms of the branching mechanism and the competition parameter $c>0$. We show that when $infty$ is inaccessible, it is always an entrance boundary. In the case where $infty$ is accessible, explosion can occur either by a single jump to $infty$ (the process at $z$ jumps to $infty$ at rate $lambdaz$ for some $lambda>0$) or by accumulation of large jumps over finite intervals. We construct a natural extension of the minimal process and show that when $infty$ is accessible and $0leqfrac2lambdac<1$, the extended process is reflected at $infty$. In the case $frac2lambdacgeq1$, $infty$ is an exit of the extended process. When the branching mechanism is not the Laplace exponent of a subordinator, we show that the process with reflection at $infty$ get extinct almost-surely. Moreover absorption at $0$ is almost-sure if and only if Grey's condition is satisfied. When the branching mechanism is the Laplace exponent of a subordinator, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a stationary distribution to exist. The Laplace transform of the latter is provided. The study is based on classical time-change arguments and on a new duality method relating logistic CSBPs with certain generalized Feller diffusions.
