Branching Processes and Applications
ثبت نشده
چکیده
These are notes of a talk given at the probability student seminar in the Weizmann institute of science on September 2011. After introducing Galton-Watson branching process, we consider conditions for which the process survives forever and for which it has a binary tree as a subtree with the same root. As an application, Mandelbrot’s fractal percolation model is discussed.

Central Limit Theorem in Multitype Branching Random Walk
A discrete time multitype (p-type) branching random walk on the real line R is considered. The positions of the j-type individuals in the n-th generation form a point process. The asymptotic behavior of these point processes, when the generation size tends to infinity, is studied. The central limit theorem is proved.
متن کاملBranching Stochastic Processes: History, Theory, Applications
Branching stochastic processes can be considered as models in population dynamics, where the objects have a random lifetime and reproduction following some stochastic laws. Typical examples are nuclear reactions, cell proliferation and biological reproduction, some chemical reactions, economics and financial phenomena. In this survey paper we try to present briefly some of the most important an...
متن کاملBranching processes with immigration and related topics
This is a survey on recent progresses in the study of branching processes with immigration, generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes and affine Markov processes. We mainly focus on the applications of skew convolution semigroups and the connections in those processes.
متن کاملBranching Processes, the Max-Plus Algebra and Network Calculus
Branching processes can describe the dynamics of various queueing systems, peer-to-peer systems, delay tolerant networks, etc. In this paper we study the basic stochastic recursion of multitype branching processes, but in two non-standard contexts. First, we consider this recursion in the max-plus algebra where branching corresponds to finding the maximal offspring of the current generation. Se...
متن کاملRelative frequencies in multitype branching processes
This paper considers the relative frequencies of distinct types of individuals in multitype branching processes. We prove that the frequencies are asymptotically multivariate normal when the initial number of ancestors is large and the time of observation is fixed. The result is valid for any branching process with a finite number of types; the only assumption required is that of independent in...
متن کاملSe p 20 05 Random Trees , Lévy Processes and Spatial Branching Processes
Random trees. Random trees. The main goal of this work is to investigate the genealogical structure of continuous-state branching processes in connection with limit theorems for discrete Galton-Watson trees. Applications are also given to the construction and various properties of spatial branching processes including a general class of superprocesses. Our starting point is the recent work of L...
