Review text

Let \(X_ t\) denote the supercritical linear birth and death process with linear catastrophe component studied in the paper reviewed above. The present note provides a new, self-contained and simple proof of the central limit theorem \([X_ t-W \exp (\lambda t+\phi)]X_ t^{- 1/2}\Rightarrow \sigma N(0,1)\) conditional on \((X_ t\to \infty)\) under the second order moment condition \(\sum_{j\geq 1}j^ 2b_ j<\infty\). This improves the corresponding result from the earlier paper which had required a fourth order moment condition.
