Let Mn denote the size of the largest amongst the first n generations of a simple branching process. It is shown for near critical processes with a finite offspring variance that the law of Mn/n, ...

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.

The Galton-Watson process with immigration which is time-homogeneous but not permitted when the process is in state 0 (so that this state is absorbing) is briefly studied in the subcritical and ...

Branching processes form one of the fundamerntal type of stochastic processes and are typically introduced in order to describe population growth. The most fundamental and classical population model ...
