Abstract
A continuous-state population-size-dependent branching process (X t) is a modification of the Jiřina process. We prove that such a process arises as the limit of a sequence of suitably scaled population-size-dependent branching processes with discrete states. The extinction problem for the population Xt is discussed, and the limit distribution of Xt/t obtained when Xt tends to infinity.
