TOTAL POSITIVITY OF SOME FUNCTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH MARKOV BRANCHING PROCESSES.

Abstract

Total positivity of the transition probabilities P sub ij(t) in the variables i and j implies the total positivity of the generating function F sub i(s,t) in the variables i and s. The converse is also considered. (Author)
