Long time behavior and Yaglom limit for real trait-structured Birth and Death Processes

Probability 2025-08-07 v1

Abstract

In this article we study the long time behaviour of measure-valued birth and death processes in continuous time, where the dynamics between jumps are one-dimensional Markov processes including diffusion and jumps. We consider the three regimes, critical, subcritical and supercritical. Under suitable hypotheses on the Feynman-Kac semigroup, we prove a new recurrence for the moments and the extinction probability, their time asymptotics and the convergence in law for the measure-valued birth and death process conditioned to non extinction, leading to the existence of Q-process and Yaglom limit (in this infinite dimensional setting). We develop three classes of natural examples where our results apply.
