CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREMS FOR BELLMAN-HARRIS PROCESSES

  • Published : 1999.09.01

Abstract

In this paper we consider functionals of the empirical age distribution of supercritical Bellman-Harris processes. Let f : R+ longrightarrow R be a measurable function that integrates to zero with respect to the stable age distribution in a supercritical Bellman-Harris process with no extinction. We present sufficient conditions for the asymptotic normality of the mean of f with respect to the empirical age distribution at time t.
