We extend recent results of Schuh on the convergence of , where α ≧ 0 and Sn is the sum of n i.i.d. positive random variables to sums of the form for a large class of functions g, give simpler proofs than those of Schuh, and derive reformulations of the explosion criteria for Markov branching processes with discrete and continuous state space.

We obtain results connecting the distribution of the random variablesYandWin the supercritical generalized branching processes introduced by Crump and Mode. For example, if β > 1,EYβandEWβconverge or diverge together and regular variation of the tail of one ofY, Wwith non-integer exponent β > 1 is equivalent to regular variation of the other. We also prove analogous results for the continuous-time continuous state-space branching processes introduced by Jirina.

Results on the behaviour of Markov branching processes as time goes to infinity, hitherto obtained for models which assume a discrete state-space or discrete time or both, are here generalised to a model with both state-space and time continuous. The results are similar but the methods not always so.
