Breadth first search coding of multitype forests with application to Lamperti representation

Probability 2014-10-02 v1

Abstract

We obtain a bijection between some set of multidimensional sequences and this of dd-type plane forests which is based on the breadth first search algorithm. This coding sequence is related to the sequence of population sizes indexed by the generations, through a Lamperti type transformation. The same transformation in then obtained in continuous time for multitype branching processes with discrete values. We show that any such process can be obtained from a d2d^2 dimensional compound Poisson process time changed by some integral functional. Our proof bears on the discretisation of branching forests with edge lengths.
