RESEARCH C1. Research Interests My research interests concern the theory, statistics and applications of branching stochastic processes and diffusions, sampling sums of dependent variables, random sums, and sums of dependent indicators. The following could be considered as my basic scientific results: 7 (a) Suggestion of a new scheme of proving limit theorems for sums of a random number of random variables. Demonstration possibilities of this scheme in the case of infinitely divisible limit distributions and sampling sums of dependent variables. (b) Developing a unified approach to immigration problems in branching processes based on a general limit theory for random superposition of copies of stochastic processes. (c) Investigation of new functionals of branching processes concerning their genealogical trees, records, exceedances and extreme of family sizes. These results are included in my Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences thesis submitted in Steklov Mathematical Institute and have been published in the following monographs and articles. C2. Summary of Research I have been actively engaged in research since 1977. My research contribution can be categorized into the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Sampling and Random Sums. Sums of Dependent Indicators. Immigration Problems in Branching Processes. Functionals and Extreme of Branching Processes Estimation Theory for Branching Processes 1. Sampling and Random Sums It is known that many characteristics of branching stochastic processes can be represented as sums of random number of random variables or random fields. I have suggested a new approach to study such sums based on an idea of their representation as sampling sums of dependent random variables. It turned out that, if we apply this representation to simple random sums, we obtain almost all known and many new results for random sums directly from the representation. Moreover, this representation allows to study branching processes with immigration in cases when reproduction and immigration processes are not independent. It was impossible to treat the latest case by traditional methods of the theory based on generating functions ( see monograph [18], Ch. I, and articles [13], [16] and [17]). It is known that the sum of n random variables randomly selected from a finite population X 1 ,..., X N , N n , of independent random variables in the equiprobable scheme of sampling without replacement can be represented as N S N k X k , k 1 where k ,1 k N , random variables taking values 0 or 1. Here k and X k are independent. Let now vectors X 1 ,..., X N and 1 ,..., N are not independent. It is clear that this scheme (under some assumptions) includes, for example, the case when the decision about including variable X k into the sum depends on the values of X 1 ,..., X k 1 . For such generalized sampling sums I have obtained necessary and sufficient conditions 8 to have a limit distribution, have given an approximation for their distributions and have obtained uniform and non-uniform estimates of the rate of convergence ( see monograph [18 ],Ch. I, papers [2], [5], [9] and [16]). Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for sums of randomly indexed stochastic processes to have a limit distribution in the case when the sequence of indexes and the initial sequence of stochastic processes are not independent. These conditions are extensions of well-known Anskombe condition to the above sums (see monograph [18] , Ch. I, paper [11] ). 2. Sums of Dependent Indicators Sums of dependent indicators appear in many problems of the probability theory, such as random allocations, queueing theory, branching processes and so on. The study of such sums needs a new techniques in each case of dependence. I have considered two kinds of dependent indicators: the case of multivariate functions of independent random variables and the case of arbitrary dependence. Considering sum of a random number of indicators I have found conditions for a Poisson approximation of the distribution and have given an estimation of the rate of convergence in this approximation. This is in the case of first kind of dependence. In the case of arbitrary dependence I have found approximation of the distribution by a mixture of normal distributions. (Monograph [18], Ch. IV, papers [4], [10]. We must note that models considered in the above two directions are not simple generalizations or extensions of known schemes. They are constructed and investigated in connection with various concrete problems in stochastic processes. Hence they found their non-trivial and interesting applications in the directions which we are going to present now. 3. Immigration Problems Over the last decade I have developed a unified approach to immigration problems in branching stochastic processes. This approach is based on developing a general limit theory for random superpositions of copies of stochastic processes. Since branching processes maintained by immigration comprise particular cases of this general set-up, it provides a unified approach to a variety of problems that had previously been treated in isolation. Moreover, this approach allows to study new models of the immigration process depending of reproduction, that was impossible to treat by traditional methods based on analysis of probability generating functions. Construction, development and applications of this approach can be seen in my monograph [18], Ch. I and II, and in articles [12], [13], [15] and [22].. In the case of non-stationary immigration process a perfect description of the asymptotic behavior of the number of particles have been constructed. Some new properties of the limit behavior of the process have been discovered and the causes of these effects are 9 explained. Local limit theorems in the “non-classical” situation (when non-degenerate limit distributions for the number of particles come out by functional non-linear normalization) are also proved. These results which are published in monograph [18], Ch III and in papers [3], [7], [8] and [14 ] have been applied in treatment of various problems in Biology [25 ], [27], in Physics [26], and other areas. 4. Functionals and Extreme of Branching Processes The main object of investigation in the theory of branching processes is the number of individuals (particles) at a given time. Since this number can be represented as sum of independent processes “shifted” over time, the problem can be reduced to the analysis of equations for probability generating functions. However there are many other characteristics of the process which can not be written as such sums and, therefore, can not be treated by the generating function techniques. Applying result obtained for sums of dependent indicators (see part 2), makes possible to study various new characteristics of branching processes concerning their genealogy. Connections of these characteristics with problems of allocation of particles into cells are also established. (see [18], ch IV and papers [4] and [10]). Extreme problems concerning branching processes, such as maximum of family sizes in the process, records and exceedances of the sequence of branching processes are stated and methods for study of these processes are developed. (Papers [19], [20], [21], [23], and [24]). 5. Estimation Theory for Branching Processes Estimation theory of parameters of branching processes is very important part of statistical theory for stochastic processes. Since properties of branching processes strictly depend on the average number of descendants of one individual, it is important to give an estimator for it based on observed values of the process. However, in the critical and subcritical cases it is difficult, because such processes extinct with probability 1. One of ways to avoid this difficulty is to consider processes with immigration. But, if we consider a stationary immigration, in the critical and subcritical cases the process may be suppressed by immigration. Therefore it is better to consider decreasing or statedependent (more complicated) immigration component. Considering subcritical processes with state-dependent immigration I have given consistent and asymptotically unbiased estimators for the offspring and immigration averages. It was also shown that these estimators are asymptotically normal. I have suggested consistent and asymptotically unbiased estimators for the expectation and variance of the limit distribution and also for 10 the probability of hitting the state zero by the process. These results were published in [6]. One may observe a rise of interest to this kind problems after more than ten years [28].

Works in Progress My current research concerns the following directions. a) Multivariate Random Sums. Let S n be a random sum of n random vectors X k , where n are not necessarily independent of X k . In the case when X k are random variables and n are stopping times with respect to the filtration generated by X k , it was shown that the investigation of the random sum S n could be reduced to study of a simple sum of dependent variables (see Monograph [1] C3). It is interesting to consider such a problem in the case of random vectors. Results, which are going to be obtained in this direction, will be applied in investigation of sampling sums of dependent vectors, multivariate random walks, random fields and multitype general branching processes. b) Immigration-Branching Diffusions Immigration-Branching Diffusions are models of a population process in which offspring move at random on a bounded space throughout their lives according to diffusions. Each member of the population at the end of its life generates a new population whose members may be located at any point of the space. In addition a random number of new particles may immigrate into the population. Currently the theory of such processes contains many results in the case when diffusion, reproduction and immigration processes are independent. It is important to develop methods of investigation for processes allowing dependence of the above three components. Here I hope that an approach suggested in the article [1], 1992, C4 and in the book [1], C3 will allow to consider such a generalization. b) Extreme Concerning Branching Processes First results on the size of largest family in Galton-Watson processes were obtained in the paper [2], 1997, C4 (see also [3], 1998, C4). Similar problem for Galton-Watson processes allowing immigration have been considered jointly with my student H. Hummieda. In this direction there are many interesting problems, such as to consider more general models of processes or to consider k-th maximal family and other problems. Another class of problems is to study exceedances and record properties of a sequence of branching processes. First results are obtained in publications [1] 1996, [4] 1997, [2] 1998 C4 and [1], 1996 C6. In particular, investigation of exceedances in this model is a part of Ph.D. program of my student H. Hasan. C4. Books [1] Rahimov, I., Random Sums and Branching Stochastic Processes, Springer Verlag, LNS, V. 96, 1995. (English).
