Zusammenfassung:We complete a paper written by Edward Pollak in 1974 on a multitype branching process the generating functions of whose birth law are fractional linear functions with the same denominator. The main tool is a parameterization of these functions adapted using the mean matrix M and an element w of the first quadrant. We use this opportunity to give a self-contained presentation of Pollak's theory. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
