Abstract

Some previously obtained asymptotic results for branching Poisson processes are extended and sharpened. It is shown that under rather general conditions the number of events in both the transient and the equilibrium processes, suitably normalized, have a unit normal distribution. Finally, unique initial conditions are derived for the equilibrium process.
