Superprocesses with Dependent Spatial Motion and General Branching Densities

چکیده
Abstract We construct a class of superprocesses by taking the high density limit of a sequence of interacting-branching particle systems. The spatial motion of the superprocess is determined by a system of interacting diffusions, the branching density is given by an arbitrary bounded non-negative Borel function, and the superprocess is characterized by a martingale problem as a diffusion process with state space M(R), improving and extending considerably the construction of Wang (1997, 1998). It is then proved in a special case that a suitable rescaled process of the superprocess converges to the usual super Brownian motion. An extension to measure-valued branching catalysts is also discussed.

Interacting Superprocesses with Discontinuous Spatial Motion and their Associated SPDEs
A class of interacting superprocesses arising from branching particle systems with continuous spatial motions, called superprocesses with dependent spatial motion (SDSMs), has been introduced and studied in Wang [26] and Dawson et al. [8]. In this paper, we extend the model to allow discontinuous spatial motions. Under Lipschitz condition for coefficients, we show that under a proper rescaling,...
متن کاملBranching diffusions, superdiffusions and random media
Spatial branching processes became increasingly popular in the past decades, not only because of their obvious connection to biology, but also because superprocesses are intimately related to nonlinear partial differential equations. Another hot topic in today’s research in probability theory is ‘random media’, including the now classical problems on ‘Brownian motion among obstacles’ and the mo...
متن کاملDistribution and Propagation Properties of Superprocesses with General Branching Mechanisms
A theorem of Evans and Perkins (1991) on the absolute continuity of distributions of Dawson-Watanabe superprocesses is extended to general branching mechanisms. This result is then used to establish the propagation properties of the superprocesses following Evans and Perkins (1991) and Perkins (1990).

We study a spatial branching model, where the underlying motion is d-dimensional (d ≥ 1) Brownian motion and the branching rate is affected by a random collection of reproduction suppressing sets dubbed mild obstacles. We show that the quenched local growth rate is given by the branching rate in the ‘free’ region. We obtain the asymptotics (in probability) of the quenched global growth rates fo...
