A multivariate Hawkes process has components with intensities ; the branching matrix is , and a stationary version exists when its spectral radius is below one.

Example 7.8 (Buys and sells that excite each other)
Let buys and sells each have baseline per second and exponential kernels with , a buy raising the buy intensity by and the sell intensity by , and symmetrically. The branching matrix has eigenvalues and , so the process is stable; taking expectations as in Proposition 7.5, the mean intensities solve , giving per second. Cross-excitation dominates: of the triggered activity on each side, two thirds comes from the other side’s trades.
