We present two iterative methods for computing the global and partial extinction probability vectors for Galton-Watson processes with countably infinitely many types. The probabilistic interpretation ...
We examine a family of supercritical branching processes and compute the density of the limiting random variable, W, for their normalized population size. In this example the left tail of W decays ...
Branching processes in random environments constitute a significant class of stochastic models designed to capture the interplay between intrinsic reproductive dynamics and extrinsic environmental ...
Branching processes and neutron transport equations represent two interconnected yet distinct areas that lie at the interface of probability theory, statistical physics and applied mathematics.
