On continuous state branching processes: conditioning and self-similarity
arXiv:0712.0987
Abstract
In this paper, for $α\in (1, 2}$ we show that the -stable continuous-state branching process and the associated process conditioned never to become extinct are positive self-similar Markov processes. Understanding the interaction of the Lamperti transformation for continuous-state branching processes and the Lamperti transformation for positive self-similar Markov processes permits accessto a number of explicit results concerning the paths of stable-continuous branching processes and its conditioned version.
