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

Abstract: The use of spectral methods to study birth-and-death processes was pioneered by S. Karlin and J. McGregor. Their expression for the transition probabilities was made explicit by them in a few cases. Here we complete their analysis and indicate a few applications of their very powerful method.
