The multiple birth properties of multi-type Markov branching processes

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to consider the multiple birth properties for multi-type Markov branching processes. We first construct a new multi-dimensional Markov process based on the multi-type Markov branching process, which can reveal the multiple birth characteristics. Then the joint probability distribution of multiple birth of multi-type Markov branching process until any time $t$ is obtained by using the new process. Furthermore, the probability distribution of multiple birth until the extinction of the process is also given.
