# Dynamics of birth-and-death processes with proliferation - stability and chaos

• We provide a detailed description of long time dynamics in $l^1$ of the semigroup associated with constant coefficient infinite birth-and-death systems with proliferation. In particular, we discuss and slightly extend earlier stability results of [8] and also identify a range of parameters for which the semigroup is both stable in the sense of op. cit. and topologically chaotic. Moreover, for a range of parameters, we provide an explicit description of subspaces of $l^1$ which cannot generate chaotic orbits.
