In the Galton-Watson process the lifetime of each particle was one unit of time. A natural generalization is to allow these lifetimes to be random variables. Instead of the discrete time Markov chain {Z n ; n =0,1,2,…} of Chapter I, we must consider a process {Z(t); t≥0}, where Z(t)=the number of particles at time t. This process will in general not be Markovian, unless the lifetimes are independent, exponentially distributed random variables. It is the latter process which we will study in this chapter. The general non-Markovian case will be considered in Chapter IV.
