Abstract
A certain class of stochastic differential equations, containing the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross model and the geometric Brownian motion, is considered. The corresponding solutions are approximated weakly by discrete-time population-size-dependent Galton-Watson processes with immigration. The long-time behavior of the limiting processes is also investigated.
