title: On a branching model of division-within-division.
abstract: We consider a deterministic version of a stochastic model for division-within-division processes described by Kimmel (1997, In: Proceedings of the IMA Workshop 'Classical and Modern Branching Processes' (K. Arthreya and P. Jagers, eds.)???? :????). It is shown that the behaviour of the deterministic model can be analyzed by using an associated Markov chain, using the methods of Barbour et al.
