The objective of this article is to explore the relationship between stochastic L-Systems and multi-type branching processes in order to compute the corresponding probability generating functions and the distribution moments of the number of organs.
Keywords: critical branching process, random environment, limit theorems 1 Introduction Recently a number of papers appeared (see, for instance, (1),(10), (12)-(19)) dealing with branching processes in random environment in which individuals reproduce independently of each other according to random offspring distributions which vary from one generation to the other.
Keywords: branching processes in random environment, survival probability, limit theorems, random walks Introduction Branching processes in random environment are natural generalization of simple Galton-Watson processes.
