An interesting Markov chain with uniform marginals

Since I was requested to elaborate, here goes. First, let's look at the automorphism of the unit circle induced by this mapping (written in the least revealing way). With $z=e^{it}$, as usual, we have …

Total offspring of Poisson multitype branching process

Yes, with essentially the same proof. In the scalar case, just notice that $e^{cX_n+bZ_n}$ is a supermartingale as long as $p(e^{c+b}-1)\le b$. In the vector case you will need to find positive vector …
