Abstract

We study a two-dimensional process (X,Y)(X, Y) arising as the unique nonnegative solution to a pair of stochastic differential equations driven by independent Brownian motions and compensated spectrally positive L\'evy random measures. Both processes XX and YY can be identified as continuous-state nonlinear branching processes where the evolution of YY is negatively affected by XX. Assuming that process XX extinguishes, i.e. it converges to 00 but never reaches 00 in finite time, and process YY converges to 00, we identify rather sharp conditions under which the process YY exhibits, respectively, one of the following behaviors: extinction with probability one, extinguishing with probability one or both extinction and extinguishing occurring with strictly positive probabilities.
