Abstract
We prove limit theorems for a family of random vectors whose
coordinates are a special form of random sums of
Bernoulli random variables. Applying these limit theorems, we
study the number of productive individuals in n-type
indecomposable critical branching stochastic processes with types
of individuals T1,…,Tn.
