Abstract

In order to model the diurnal variation of certain cell populations we study general one-type branching processes whose individuals reproduce in a manner that is influenced by time in a periodic fashion. A Malthusian growth rate is established as well as a periodically varying asymptotic composition, over ages e.g.
