Intro. Results. Methods. The purpose of this book is to give a unified treatment of the limit theory of branching processes. Since the publication of the important book of T E. Harris (Theory of Branching Processes, Springer, 1963) the subject has developed and matured significantly. It was about ninety years ago that GALTON and WATSON, in treating the problem of the extinction of family names, showed how probability theory could be applied to study the effects of chance on the development of families or populations.

It is shown how the theory of branching processes can be applied in the analysis of the expected height of random trees.In particular, we will study generating functions, extinction probabilities, limit theorems, branching processes in con- tinuous time, biological applications.

Lovasz was reporting on his study of families of sets for which the greedy algorithm constructs their maxima1 members. He had a number of good theorems, and a striking list of examples of branching and shelling processes Abstract Recent efforts to reformulate statistical theories of polymeric systems in terms of the theory of branching (``cascade'') processes, are here extended to calculations of statistical parameters for the theory of rubber elasticity, viz., the number and mean length of various forms of active network chains. and leads to the most classical model in theory of branching processes just Galton-Watson process (GWP) with offspring distribution (pn)n 0 and Z0. The probabilistic theory of branching processes was motivated the study of the extinction of certain family lines of the.

After a review of the basic extinction theory of branching processes, we give a few classical examples of applications in discrete probability. 5.1 Background We begin with a review of the extinction theory of Galton-Watson branching pro-cesses. 5.1.1 Basic deﬁnitions Recall the deﬁnition of a Galton-Watson process.
