In this model, a random number of cars with mean m and variance 2 arrive independently on the vertices of a critical Galton-Watson tree with finite variance 2 conditioned to be large. You can help correct errors and omissions. We establish a phase transition for the parking process on critical Galton-Watson trees. Hence for each couple pj,k denotes the probability of begetting j female and k male children.All material on this site has been provided by the respective publishers and authors. Each couple produces offspring independently of all other couples and according to the same distribution (pj,k)j,k≥0 on the set of pairs (j, k) of nonnegative integers. The fundamental contribution came in 1968, when Daley introduced the following model: Consider a population whose n-th generation consists of Fn females and Mn males who form Zn = ζ(Fn,Mn) couples where Fn,Mn are random variables and ζ is a deterministic function, called a mating function. We will focus on the problem of finding conditions for certain extinction, on a description of population growth on the event of nonextinction and, finally, on a comparison of extinction probabilities for certain mating types to the respective probabilities in the asexual case.
This leads to the class of so-called bisexual Galton-Watson processes (BGWP). In the following we want to provide some insight in how mating may be incorporated into a branching model without moving too far from the paradigmatic assumptions GWP are built upon. However, such a model still ignores the fact that reproduction in two sex populations is based on the formation of couples, called mating. The latter can be overcome by using a 2-type GWP for which only type 1 individuals, the females, can produce offspring. This can be of use in applications, where the population considered may be a small, isolated tribe or other special group.
This means for the populations these processes describe that they are either assumed be asexual or that their male (nonreproductive) part is simply ignored. The Galton-Watson process was developed to answer a question of Francis Galton’s about the extinction of family names. Classical (simple) Galton-Watson processes (abbreviated as GWP hereafter) as well as their neighbours do not, at least not explicitly, distinguish between sexes of individuals. The key step in our analysis is to identify the extinction probability ratio as a certain functional of a subcritical ordinary GWP and to prove its continuity as a function of the number of ancestors in a suitable topology associated with the Martin entrance boundary of that GWP. The present article turns this conjecture into a rigorous result. However, theoretical considerations rather led us to the conjecture that this does not generally hold. In an earlier paper we provided general upper and lower bounds for the ratio between both extinction probabilities and also numerical results that seemed to confirm the convergence of that ratio. that the extinction probability of such a BGWP apparently behaves like a constant times the respective probability of its asexual counterpart (where males do not matter) if the number of ancestors grows to infinity. For a certain example, it was pointed out by Daley et al. We consider the supercritical bisexual Galton-Watson process (BGWP) with promiscuous mating, that is a branching process which behaves like an ordinary supercritical Galton-Watson process (GWP) as long as at least one male is born in each generation.
