Abstract

Motivated by the statistical applications, the asymptotic behavior of certain functionals of a branching process with immigration, {Xn}, is studied. The main results concern the critical case. A functional limit theorem for X[nt]/n is established. The rate of growth for is examined and found to depend on whether the process is transient or recurrent. Some convergence theorems for the supercritical case are also included.
