Abstract
A critical Bellman-Harris branching process {Z(t),t ≥ 0} with finite variance of the offspring number is considered. Assuming that 0 < Z(t) ≤ φ(t), where either φ(t) = o(t) as t → ∞ or φ(t) = at,a>0, we study the structure of the process where Z(s,t) is the number of particles in the initial process at moment s which either survive up to moment t or have a positive number of descendants at this moment.
