A generating function approach to branching random walks
It is well known that the behaviour of a branching process is completely described by the generating function of the offspring law and its fixed points.

A critical branching process model for biodiversity [PDF]
Motivated as a null model for comparison with data, we study the following model for a phylogenetic tree on $n$ extant species. The origin of the clade is a random time in the past, whose (improper) distribution is uniform on $(0,\infty)$.

This study aims to explore the feasibility of using a structure inspired by the features of horsetail and human spine as the potential helmet liner, targeting at mitigation of acceleration‐induced injuries. A parametric study is conducted to investigate the effect of individual geometrical variables in the design, indicating its capability to reduce ...

Continuous flows driving branching processes and their nonlinear evolution equations
We consider on M(ℝd) (the set of all finite measures on ℝd) the evolution equation associated with the nonlinear operator F↦ΔF′+∑k⩾1bkFkF \mapsto \Delta F' + \sum\nolimits_{k \geqslant 1} b_k F^k , where F′ is the variational derivative of F and we show

Factorial moments of the critical Markov branching process with geometric reproduction of particles
The factorial moments of any Markov branching process describe the behaviour of its probability generating function $F(t,s)$ in the neighbourhood of the point $s=1$.

Scaling limits of branching random walks and branching stable processes [PDF]
Branching-stable processes have recently appeared as counterparts of stable subordinators, when addition of real variables is replaced by branching mechanism for point processes. Here, we are interested in their domains of attraction and describe explicit conditions for a branching random walk to converge after a proper magnification to a branching ...

We present a stochastic model of driver mutations in the transition from severe congenital neutropenia to myelodysplastic syndrome to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The model has the form of a multitype branching process.

Extreme values of critical and subcritical branching stable processes with positive jumps [PDF]
We consider a branching stable process with positive jumps, i.e. a continuous-time branching process in which the particles evolve independently as stable L{\'e}vy processes with positive jumps. Assuming the branching mechanism is critical or subcritical, we compute the asymptotics of the maximum location ever reached by a particle of the process.

Turing mechanism underlying a branching model for lung morphogenesis. [PDF]
The mammalian lung develops through branching morphogenesis. Two primary forms of branching, which occur in order, in the lung have been identified: tip bifurcation and side branching.

Bim Expression Modulates Branching Morphogenesis of the Epithelium and Endothelium
Branching morphogenesis is a key developmental process during organogenesis, such that its disruption frequently leads to long-term consequences.
