Branching Random Walk in an inhomogeneous breeding potential

Probability 2013-02-19 v1

Abstract

We consider a continuous-time branching random walk in the inhomogeneous breeding potential β.p\beta|.|^p, where β>0\beta > 0, p0p \geq 0. We prove that the population almost surely explodes in finite time if p>1p > 1 and doesn't explode if p1p \leq 1. In the non-explosive cases, we determine the asymptotic behaviour of the rightmost particle.
