Quasi-stationary distributions associated with explosive CSBP

Cyril Labbé (Université Pierre et Marie Curie)

Abstract


We characterize all the quasi-stationary distributions and the Q process associated with a continuous state branching process that explodes in finite time. We also provide a rescaling for the continuous state branching process conditioned on non-explosion when the branching mechanism is regularly varying at 0.
