Survival probabilities for some multitype branching processes in genetics.

Abstract excerpt

Consider a positively regular, slightly supercritical branching process with K types. An approximation to the probability of survival of a line descended from a single individual of type i has recently been derived by Hoppe. If K is large, however, this approximation may not be easy to compute. A...
