Supercritical branching processes and the role of fluctuations under exponential population growth.

Abstract excerpt

We study some exact properties of supercritical branching processes. A proper rescaling of the relevant variable allows us to determine the distribution of population sizes after a number of generations have elapsed. Both time-continuous and discrete processes are analysed and compared. The obtained results are of relevance for the growth of populations that are not resource limited (a typical situation in some...
