摘要
We examine basic properties regarding uniqueness, extinction, and explosivity for the generalised Markov branching processes with pairwise interaction. First we establish uniqueness criteria, proving that in the essentially-explosive case the process is honest if and only if the mean death rate is greater than or equal to the mean birth rate, while in the sub-explosive case the process is dishonest only in exceptional circumstances. Explicit expressions are then obtained for the extinction probabilities, the mean extinction times and the conditional mean extinction times. Explosivity is also investigated and an explicit expression for mean explosion time is established.
