The Extinction Probability in a Critical Branching Process
Abstract
Let Z(t) be the number of cells alive at t in a critical age- dependent Bellman-Harris process with lifetime distribution G(t) and offspring generating function h(s). A simplified proof that tP(Z(t) > 0) gives b > 0, a specified constant, is given.
