Abstract: Abstract We introduce continuous-time branching processes. The main difference between discrete and continuous branching processes is that births and deaths occur at random times for continuous-time processes. Continuous-time branching processes have the Markov property if (and only if) birth and death times are exponentially distributed. We will use several properties of the exponential distribution.
