Abstract

The aim of this paper is to introduce a multitype branching process with random migration following the research initiated with the Galton–Watson process with migration introduced in [N. M. Yanev and K. V. Mitov, Controlled branching processes: The case of random migration, C. R. Acad. Bulgare Sci. 33 1980, 4, 473–475]. We focus our attention in what we call the critical case. Sufficient conditions are provided for the process to have unlimited growth or not. Furthermore, using suitable normalizing sequences, we study the asymptotic distribution of the process. Finally, we obtain a Feller-type diffusion approximation.
