Abstract

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.
