Let $Z_t$ denote the generation-$t$ type-count vector, and let $p_i^{(t)}={\mathrm{Pr}}_i(|Z_t|>0)$ from a single type-$i$ ancestor. Every type-$j$ child independently has probability $p_j^{(t)}$ of having descendants in generation $t$. For a Poisson random variable $N$ with mean $\lambda$, $\mathbb{E}{s}^N=\exp [\lambda (s-1)]$. Independence across child types therefore givesThe events of nonempty successive generations decrease. Each individual has finitely many children almost surely, so the total tree is infinite precisely when no generation is empty. Consequently $p^{(t)}\downarrow p$, the actual survival probability of a branching process. Continuity of $T$ yieldsThe map $T$ is coordinatewise increasing on nonnegative vectors. Every nonnegative fixed point $p^{\prime }$ automatically lies in $[0,1{]}^l$, since its coordinates equal $1-e^{-z}$ with finite $z\ge 0$. Hence $p^{\prime }\le 1$ and, by induction, $p^{\prime }=T^t(p^{\prime })\le T^t(1)=p^{(t)}$. Taking limits proves $p^{\prime }\le p$ in every coordinate, so $p$ is the greatest nonnegative solution, not merely some fixed point. This argument applies without irreducibility assumptions to the multitype Poisson branching process.
