Abstract
The master equation for the Malthus–Verhulst process including spontaneous generation will be re‐examined in the light of an extended version of Van Kampen’s method at the critical point. The Malthus–Verhulst process turns out to be a remarkable special case as the standard scaling property is left untouched at the critical point.Keywords
