Motivated by the stochastic Lotka-Volterra model, we introduce discrete-state interacting multitype branching processes. We show that they can be obtained as the sum of a multidimensional random walk with a Lamperti-type change proportional…
We report on a fundamental role of a non-normalized formal steady state, i.e., an infinite invariant density, in a semi-Markov process where the state is determined by the inter-event time of successive renewals. The state describes certain…
We consider one-dimensional branching Brownian motion in which particles are absorbed at the origin. We assume that when a particle branches, the offspring distribution is supercritical, but the particles are given a critical drift towards…
We investigate the genealogical structure of general critical or subcritical continuous-state branching processes. Analogously to the coding of a discrete tree by its contour function, this genealogical structure is coded by a real-valued…
We consider systems of damped wave equations with a state-dependent damping coefficient and perturbed by a Gaussian multiplicative noise. Initially, we investigate their well-posedness, under quite general conditions on the friction.…
In this paper we prove the existence of a family of self-similar solutions for a class of coagulation equations with a constant flux of particles from the origin. These solutions are expected to describe the longtime asymptotics of…
We establish central limit theorems for a large class of supercritical branching Markov processes in infinite dimension with spatially dependent and non-necessarily local branching mechanisms. This result relies on a fourth moment…
In this paper we study the convergence of solutions for (possibly degenerate) stochastic differential equations driven by L\'evy processes, when the coefficients converge in some appropriate sense. First, we prove, by means of a…
Sufficient conditions are given for existence and uniqueness in Smoluchowski's coagulation equation, for a wide class of coagulation kernels and initial mass distributions. An example of non-uniqueness is constructed. The stochastic…
Consider generalized adapted stochastic integrals with respect to independently scattered random measures with second moments. We use a decoupling technique, known as the "principle of conditioning", to study their stable convergence…
Binary coagulation is an important process in aerosol dynamics by which two particles merge to form a larger one. The distribution of particle sizes over time may be described by the so-called Smoluchowski's coagulation equation. This…
Certain Markov processes, or deterministic evolution equations, have the property that they are dual to a stochastic process that exhibits extinction versus unbounded growth, i.e., the total mass in such a process either becomes zero, or…
Existence and non-existence of integrable stationary solutions to Smoluchowski's coagulation equation with source are investigated when the source term is integrable with an arbitrary support in (0, $\infty$). Besides algebraic upper and…
We study coupled non-linear parabolic equations for a fluid described by a material density and a temperature, both functions of space and time. In one dimension, we find some stationary solutions corresponding to fixing the temperature on…
We show the existence of L\'evy-type stochastic processes in one space dimension with characteristic triplets that are either discontinuous at thresholds, or are stable-like with stability index functions for which the closures of the…
The Kesten-Stigum Theorem is a fundamental criterion for the rate of growth of a supercritical branching process, showing that an L log L condition is decisive. In critical and subcritical cases, results of Kolmogorov and later authors give…
We consider a branching Markov process in continuous time in which the particles evolve independently as spectrally negative L\'evy processes. When the branching mechanism is critical or subcritical, the process will eventually die and we…
In order to model random density-dependence in population dynamics, we construct the random analogue of the well-known logistic process in the branching process' framework. This density-dependence corresponds to intraspecific competition…
We study the phenomenon of coming down from infinity - that is, when the process starts from infinity and never returns to it - for continuous-state branching processes with generalized drift. We provide sufficient conditions on the drift…
We construct a time-dependent solution to the Smoluchowski coagulation equation with a constant flux of dust particles entering through the boundary at zero. The dust is instantaneously converted into particles and flux solutions have…
