Abstract

Let {Z(t),t0}\left\{ Z(t), t\geq 0\right\} be a critical Bellman-Harris branching process with finite variance for the offspring size of particles. Assuming that 0<Z(t)φ(t)0<Z(t)\leq \varphi (t), where either φ(t)=o(t)\varphi (t)=o(t) as tt\rightarrow \infty or φ(t)=at,a>0\varphi (t)=at,\, a>0, we study the structure of the process % \left\{ Z(s,t),0\leq s\leq t\right\} , where Z(s,t)Z(s,t) is the number of particles in the process at moment ss in the initial process which either survive up to moment tt or have a positive offspring number at this moment.
