AbstractWe give a criterion for unlimited growth with positive probability for a large class of multidimensional stochastic models. As a by-product, we recover the necessary and sufficient conditions for recurrence and transience for critical multitype Galton–Watson with immigration processes and also significantly improve some results on multitype size-dependent Galton–Watson processes.

A Zipf's law is a probability distribution on the positive integers which decays algebraically. Such laws describe (approximately) a large class of phenomena. We formulate a model for such phenomena and, in terms of our model, give necessary and sufficient conditions for a Zipf's law to hold.

In order to study the transience of Hendricks libraries, we introduce and study a special class of Markov chains, the Tsetlin d-piles, generalizing Tsetlin libraries and briefly defined as follows: a 1-pile is a Tsetlin library and a d-pile is a Tsetlin library where each book is replaced by a (d − 1)-pile. We give a stationary measure of these chains and establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for positive recurrence and transience. Finally, the study of d-piles allows us to determine a sufficient condition for transience of quite a large class of Hendricks libraries.

In this paper we introduce and study n-point Virasoro algebras, [Formula: see text], which are natural generalizations of the classical Virasoro algebra and have as quotients multipoint genus zero Krichever–Novikov type algebras. We determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the latter two such Lie algebras to be isomorphic. Moreover we determine their automorphisms, their derivation algebras, their universal central extensions, and some other properties. The list of automorphism groups that occur is Cn, Dn, A4, S4 and A5. We also construct a large class of modules which we call modules of densities, and determine necessary and sufficient conditions for them to be irreducible.

SYNOPSISA large class of self-adjoint fourth-order differential equations has the property that if one solution is oscillatory then all solutions are oscillatory. This paper establishes necessary and sufficient conditions for this property to hold for a corresponding class of non-self-adjoint differential equations.

In this paper, we introduce a bisexual Galton-Watson branching process with mating function dependent on the population size in each generation. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the process to become extinct with probability 1 are investigated for two possible conditions on the sequence of mating functions. Some results for the probability generating functions associated with the process are also given.

We establish, by means of a large class of continuous t-representable intuitionistic fuzzy t-conorms, a factorization of an intuitionistic fuzzy relation (IFR) into a unique indifference component and a family of regular strict components. This result generalizes a previous factorization obtained by Dimitrov (2002) with the intuitionistic fuzzy t-conorm. We provide, for a continuous t-representable intuitionistic fuzzy t-norm , a characterization of the -transitivity of an IFR. This enables us to determine necessary and sufficient conditions on a -transitive IFR under which a strict component of satisfies pos-transitivity and negative transitivity.

The Laplace transform of the extinction time is determined for a general birth and death process with arbitrary catastrophe rate and catastrophe size distribution. It is assumed only that the birth rates satisfyλ0= 0,λj> 0 for eachj> 0, and. Necessary and sufficient conditions for certain extinction of the population are derived. The results are applied to the linear birth and death process (λj=jλ, µj=jμ) with catastrophes of several different types.
