Abstract
The logistic birth and death process is perhaps the simplest stochastic population model that has both density-dependent reproduction, and a phase transition, and a lot can be learned about the process by studying its extinction time, , as a function of system size . A number of existing results describe the scaling of as , for various choices of reproductive rate and initial population as a function of . We collect and complete this picture, obtaining a complete classification of all sequences and for which there exist rescaling parameters and such that converges in distribution as , and identifying the limits in each case.
