Abstract
•We provide the first strongly polynomial algorithm for criticality of branching processes.•The same algorithm decides consistency of stochastic context-free grammars.•We apply the algorithm to a problem of nuclear physics.
We provide a strongly polynomial algorithm for determining whether a given multi-type branching process is subcritical, critical, or supercritical. The same algorithm also decides consistency of stochastic context-free grammars.
