Hierarchical equilibria of branching populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The objective of this paper is the study of the equilibrium behavior of a population on the hierarchical group $\Omega_N$ consisting of families of individuals undergoing critical branching random walk and in addition these families also develop ...

Asymptotics for the survival probability in a killed branching random walk [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Consider a discrete-time one-dimensional supercritical branching random walk. We study the probability that there exists an infinite ray in the branching random walk that always lies above the line of slope $\gamma-\epsilon$, where $\gamma$ denotes the ...

$1$-stable fluctuation of the derivative martingale of branching random walk [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
In this paper, we study the functional convergence in law of the fluctuations of the derivative martingale of branching random walk on the real line. Our main result strengthens the results of Buraczewski et. al. [Ann. Probab., 2021] and is the branching random walk counterpart of the main result of Maillard and Pain [Ann.

Cookie branching random walks

open access: yes, 2011
We consider a branching random walk on $\Z$, where the particles behave differently in visited and unvisited sites. Informally, each site on the positive half-line contains initially a cookie. On the first visit of a site its cookie is removed and particles at positions with a cookie reproduce and move differently from particles on sites without ...

AAPM Task Group No. 249.B—Essentials and guidelines for clinical medical physics residency training program

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract The establishment of guidelines and curriculum standards for medical physics residency training is a critical component of setting expectations and competencies for the profession. Since the last publication of these standards, residency training has become integrated into the eligibility criteria for most medical physics certification bodies.

Artificial Plant Root System Growth for Distributed Optimization: Models and Emergent Behaviors

open access: yesOpen Life Sciences, 2016
Plant root foraging exhibits complex behaviors analogous to those of animals, including the adaptability to continuous changes in soil environments. In this work, we adapt the optimality principles in the study of plant root foraging behavior to create ...

A Branching Random Walk with a Barrier

open access: yesThe Annals of Applied Probability, 1991
Suppose that a child is likely to be weaker than its parent and a child who is too weak will not reproduce. What is the condition for a family line to survive? Let $b$ denote the mean number of children a viable parent will have; we suppose that this is independent of strength as long as strength is positive.

Cerebello‐Prefrontal Connectivity Underlying Cognitive Dysfunction in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a hereditary cerebellar degenerative disorder, with motor and cognitive symptoms. The constellation of cognitive symptoms due to cerebellar degeneration is named cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS), which has increasingly been recognized to profoundly impact patients' quality of life;

Criticality for branching processes in random environment

open access: yes, 2005
We study branching processes in an i.i.d. random environment, where the associated random walk is of the oscillating type. This class of processes generalizes the classical notion of criticality.
