Occupation time fluctuations in branching systems

DA Dawson, LG Gorostiza, A Wakolbinger - Journal of Theoretical …, 2001 - Springer
We consider particle systems in locally compact Abelian groups with particles moving
according to a process with symmetric stationary independent increments and undergoing …

Multilevel mutation-selection systems and set-valued duals

DA Dawson - Journal of mathematical biology, 2018 - Springer
A class of measure-valued processes which model multilevel multitype populations
undergoing mutation, selection, genetic drift and spatial migration is considered. We …

Time reversal of spinal processes for linear and non-linear branching processes near stationarity

B Henry, S Méléard, VC Tran - Electronic Journal of Probability, 2023 - projecteuclid.org
We consider a stochastic individual-based population model with competition, trait-structure
affecting reproduction and survival, and changing environment. The changes of traits are …

Degrees of transience and recurrence and hierarchical random walks

DA Dawson, LG Gorostiza, A Wakolbinger - Potential Analysis, 2005 - Springer
The notion of degree and related notions concerning recurrence and transience for a class
of Lévy processes on metric Abelian groups are studied. The case of random walks on a …

recurrence phenomena and in particular on the notion of order of transience. A family of …

Algebraic two-level measure trees

J Nussbaumer, VC Tran, A Winter - arXiv preprint arXiv:2207.14805, 2022 - arxiv.org
With the algebraic trees, L\" ohr and Winter (2021) introduced a generalization of the notion
of graph-theoretic trees to account for potentially uncountable structures. The tree structure …

[HTML][HTML] A zero–one law of almost sure local extinction for (1+ β)-super-Brownian motion

Asymptotic fluctuations and critical dimension for a two-level branching system

LG Gorostiza - Bernoulli, 1996 - projecteuclid.org
The high-density asymptotic behaviour of a two-level branching system in Rd is studied. In
the finite-variance case, a fluctuation limit process is obtained which is characterized as a …
