SOME MATHEMATICAL MODELS FOR BRANCHING PROCESSES

Abstract

This paper considers a number of stochastic processes which have been used as models for branching phenomena. Particular concern was given to limiting theorems and limiting distributions giving the behavior of the systems studied after long periods of time. One pattern recurs often enough to make the following statement plausible, although a general mathematical formulation has not been given.
