A note on the two-sex population process
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
This paper considers the two-sex birth-death model {X(t), Y(t); t ≧ 0}; an explicit solution is obtained for its probability generating function. It is shown that moments of the process can be found directly from the Kolmogorov forward equations for the probabilities. An integral equation approach is also used to throw light on the structure of the process.
