Branching Stochastic Processes: History, Theory, Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
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 and interesting facts from the theory of branching processes and to point out some applications.

Comparisons for Measure Valued Processes with Interactions
This paper considers some measure-valued processes {Xt : t ∈ [0, T ]} based on an underlying critical branching particle structure with random branching rates. In the case of constant branching these processes are Dawson-Watanabe processes. Sufficient conditions on functionals Φ of the process are given that imply that the expectations E(Φ(XT )) are comparable to the constant branching case. Ap...
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 کاملInfinite-scale Percolation in a New Type of Branching Diffusion Processes
We give an account of matter and (basically) a solution of a new class of problems synthesizing percolation theory and branching diffusion processes. They led us to realizing a novel type of stochastic processes, namely branching processes with diffusion on the space of parameters distinguishing the branching “particles” each other. 1 On leave from L.D.Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics, ...
متن کاملStochastic processes in survival analysis
The objects studied in survival and event history analysis are stochastic phenomena developing over time. It is therefore natural to use the highly developed theory of stochastic processes. We argue that this theory should be used more in event history analysis. Some specific examples are treated: Markov chains, martingale-based counting processes, birth type processes, diffusion processes and ...
متن کاملFUZZY INFORMATION AND STOCHASTICS
In applications there occur different forms of uncertainty. The twomost important types are randomness (stochastic variability) and imprecision(fuzziness). In modelling, the dominating concept to describe uncertainty isusing stochastic models which are based on probability. However, fuzzinessis not stochastic in nature and therefore it is not considered in probabilisticmodels.Since many years t...
