The decay function of nonhomogeneous birth-death processes, with application to mean-field models

The paper develops in different directions the method of the second author for estimation of the rate of exponential convergence of nonhomogeneous birth-death processes. Applying the method to mean-field models, we discover some phenomena related to their spectral gaps.
