Abstract

This paper continues the author's study of age-dependent branching processes allowing immigration. In this paper the multidimensional case is considered. A sufficient condition is obtained for the existence of a legitimate limiting distribution. Several corollaries are obtained, which generalize many of the results of the discrete theory and those of the one-dimensional continuous time model.
