Fractional Immigration-Death Processes

Abstract

In this paper we study explicit strong solutions for two difference-differential fractional equations, defined via the generator of an immigration-death process, by using spectral methods. Moreover, we give a stochastic representation of the solutions of such difference-differential equations by means of a stable time-changed immigration-death process and we use this stochastic representation to show boundedness and then uniqueness of these strong solutions. Finally, we study the limit distribution of the time-changed process.
