We first show that the Markov branching process with killing and stable resurrection is just the Feller minimum process which is honest and thus unique. We then further show that this honest Feller minimum process is not only positive recurrent but also strongly ergodic. The generating function of the important stationary distribution is explicitly expressed. For the interest of comparison and completeness, the results of the Markov branching processes with killing and instantaneous resurrection are also briefly stated. A new result regarding strong ergodicity of this difficult case is presented. The birth and death process with killing and resurrection together with another example is also analyzed.展开更多

The emphases are on quasi-stationarity and quasi-ergodicity and related problems. On one hand, using an eigenfunction expansion for the transition density, we prove the existence and uniqueness of both quasi-stationary distribution (qsd) and mean ratio quasi-stationary distribution (mrqsd). The later is shown to be closely related to laws of large numbers (LLN) and to quasi-ergodicity. We further show that the mrqsd is the unique stationary distribution of a certain limiting ergodic diffusion process of the BM conditioned on not having been killed. We also show that a phase transition occurs from mrqsd to qsd. On the other hand, we study the large deviation behavior related to the above problems. A key observation is that the mrqsd is the unique minimum of certain large deviation rate function. We further prove that the limiting diffusion process also satisfies a large deviation principle with the rate function attaining its unique minimum at the mrqsd. These give interpretations of the mrqsd from different points of view, and establish some intrinsic connections among the above topics. Some general results concerning Yaglom limit, moment convergence and LLN are also obtained.展开更多

We consider a class of stochastic Boussinesq equations driven by L6vy processes and establish the uniqueness of its invariant measure. The proof is based on the progressive stopping time technique.
