Anomalous spreading in reducible multitype branching Brownian motion
Abstract
We consider a two-type reducible branching Brownian motion, defined as a particle system on the real line in which particles of two types move according to independent Brownian motion and create offspring at constant rate. Particles of type can give birth to particles of types and , but particles of type only give birth to descendants of type . Under some specific conditions, Biggins (2012) shows that this process exhibit an anomalous spreading behaviour: the rightmost particle at time is much further than the expected position for the rightmost particle in a branching Brownian motion consisting only of particles of type or of type . This anomalous spreading also has been investigated from a reaction-diffusion equation standpoint by Holzer (2014,2016). The aim of this article is to study the asymptotic behaviour of the position of the furthest particles in the two-type reducible branching Brownian motion, obtaining in particular tight estimates for the median of the maximal displacement.
