文摘We consider decay properties including the decay parameter, invariant measures, invariant vectors, and quasistationary distributions for n-type Markov branching processes on the basis of the 1-type Markov branching processes and 2-type Markov branching processes. Investigating such behavior is crucial in realizing life period of branching models. In this paper, some important properties of the generating functions for n-type Markov branching q-matrix are firstly investigated in detail. The exact value of the decay parameter λC of such model is given for the communicating class C = Zn+ \ 0. It is shown that this λC can be directly obtained from the generating functions of the corresponding q-matrix. Moreover, the λC -invariant measures/vectors and quasi-distributions of such processes are deeply considered. λC -invariant measures and quasi-stationary distributions for the process on C are presented.
