New integral tests for extinction and explosion behaviors.
Application to continuous-state nonlinear branching processes.
Abstract
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for almost sure finiteness of integral functionals of spectrally positive L\'evy processes. Via Lamperti type transforms, these results can be applied to obtain new integral tests on extinction and explosion behaviors for a class of continuous-state nonlinear branching processes.
