Large Deviation Rates for the Continuous-Time Supercritical Branching Processes with Immigration

Let Yt;t≥0 be a supercritical continuous-time branching process with immigration; our focus is on the large deviation rates of Yt and thus extending the results of the discrete-time Galton–Watson process to the continuous-time case. Firstly, we prove that Zt=e−mtYt−emt+1−1/em−1ea+m is a submartingal...

Description
Summary:Let Yt;t≥0 be a supercritical continuous-time branching process with immigration; our focus is on the large deviation rates of Yt and thus extending the results of the discrete-time Galton–Watson process to the continuous-time case. Firstly, we prove that Zt=e−mtYt−emt+1−1/em−1ea+m is a submartingale and converges to a random variable Z. Then, we study the decay rates of PZt−Z>ε as t⟶∞ and PYt+v/Yt−emv>ε|Z≥α as t⟶∞ for α>0 and ε>0 under various moment conditions on bk;k≥0 and aj;j≥0. We conclude that the rates are supergeometric under the assumption of finite moment generation functions.
