Abstract

Multidimensional Markov processes in continuous time with asymptotically linear mean change per unit of time are studied as randomly perturbed linear differential equations. Conditions for exponential and polynomial growth rates with stable type distribution are given. From these conditions results on branching models of populations with stabilizing reproduction for near-supercritical and near-critical cases follow.
